Unplugging other HD's does the trick
I also had the problem of the system and boot partitions being on separate drives (as seen in the Disk Management Console). It prevented my backup program (EaseUS ToDo 8.9) from being able to do a proper system backup. I have four hard drives. The one containing Win7 was marked as Boot, but one of the other three HDs was marked as System. I did the following:
- Shut down PC.
- Unplug the other three HDs.
- Reboot into Win7.
- Check the Disk Management Console to ensure that my main HD is now marked as Boot AND System.
- Shut down PC and reconnect the other three HDs.
- Reboot into Win7.
- Check the Disk Management Console to ensure that my main HD is still marked as Boot AND System.
Thanks for the help and I hope this reply helps others.
