2 Hard Drives, Win 7/ Linux, Sys Res Part. has System(screenshot inc.)

Howdy,

So I have 2 hard drives on my Asus G74sx. I noticed yesterday that the drive I usually use for storage is te faster one of the 2 (C: (windows 7) is on a Western Digital 5400 rpm, and D: (storage) is on a Seagate 7200 rpm. So I clone the 2 drives. After some troubleshooting, I decide to install Linux on my 5400 rpm drive, and win 7 on the 7200 rpm drive. After some more troubleshooting, I can successfully boot to either HD/OS from the Grub at startup. So, when I'm at the grub menu, I have the usual Linux options, but, 2 Windows 7 options. So in a nutshell, I succesfully made my Seagate (which was used for storage) as my C:. But it seems that my sys res partition and my C: have swapped some stuff(screenshot included). Shouldn't "system" be on C: and "crash dump" be on the Sys Res? Thanks a bunch... this stuff is all new to me but having fun :-D



Also, at the grub menu startup, the two Windows options look like this:

Windows 7 (Loader) (on /dev/sda1)
Windows 7 (Loader) (on /dev/sda2)

Howdy gregrocker and thanks for your reply :-D

So ya, I kept reading and researching yesterday and that eventually led me to installing Easy BCD and then going to:
- BCD Backup/Repair
- BCD Management Options
- Re-create/repair boot files
And then hitting Perform Action.

Everything worked fine as it brought me to the Windows boot manager at startup and gave me 1 Windows 7 option and one Linux Mint option. They both boot up fine, no issues. That said, opting for the Linux option brings me into GRUB and I still had those 2 Windows options. I'm kinda cool with it but not really, haha.

Now, that did move some stuff around the partitions (i.e. Disk Management). As I just read your thread, I marked my Sys Res as Active and now I have this:



So, if I'm not mistaken, this is how it should look right? I also did a restart after marking the sys res as active and it brought me straight to Win 7. Cool stuff again i think (as I'll be going into my Linux HD through BIOS, which I'm super cool with). Now, I had dual booted Win7/Linux successfully a couple of months ago and eventually decided to remove the Lnux partition. To fix the bootloader, I went into the Command Prompt via a Live Windows 7 cd, entered bootrec.exe /fixmbr. This seemed to fix everything. Would doing this be good enough this time around to remove GRUB or should I follow every step that you suggested in your reply? Thanks alot man, really appreciate the help :-D

and ya, is it normal that sda1 (which is sys res) and sda2 ( which is c: ) both have Windows 7 (loader) under system. I would think that this would be the cause of having two Win 7 options in grub...
