I have two boot drives in Windows 7 and need to change it to one.
I have two boot drives in Windows 7 and need to change it to one.
C is my main boot drive. D drive is bootable but it holds the information to boot C drive menu. How do I change that D drive to function as indicated below. I want to keep C drive as the boot drive and delete most of D drive and use it for storage.
According to easy BCD:
Default: Windows 7
Timeout: 30 seconds
Boot Drive: D:\
Name: Windows 7
BCD ID: {current}
Drive: C:\
Bootloader Path: \Windows\system32\winload.exe
Entry #2
Name: Windows 7 Home Premium
BCD ID: {85f100df-6a2d-11e2-9ac7-800647930a56}
Drive: D:\
Bootloader Path: \Windows\system32\winload.exe
I don't want to have to reinstall C drive now.
My understanding is that the Default drive is D and it holds the menu information for the C drive. If I delete or format the D drive then will windows repair be able to find the boot drive C and restructure the menu for C so that I can access C drive. I have seen a recoverable menu created before but I am not sure it will work in this case.
Currently my menu information contain two menus, Windows 7 and Microsoft Windows 7.
I found this information:
You can use the Bootrec.exe tool in the Windows Recovery Environment (Windows RE) to troubleshoot and repair the following items in Windows Vista or Windows 7:
A master boot record (MBR)
A boot sector
A Boot Configuration Data (BCD) store
Is the MBR located on drive c or d?
