How to make drive C as Disk 0
I assumed that the Disk numbers shown under Disk Management would show up as Drive C= Disk 0, Drive D= Disk 1 and Drive E would = Disk 2. I have the main system drive C and two storage drives D&E. When I went into the installation of a dual boot system with Ubuntu partitioned on the Drive C, it came out, under the Terminal in Ubuntu as sdb1 instead of what I expected to be sda. Going back to Windows 7, sure enough, Drive E= Disk 0, Drive C= Disk 1 and Drive D= Disk 2. I was trying to load the Grub boot loader in the sda drive, not the sdb drive. My workaround was to disable Drive E which caused Drive C to indicate Disk 0 in Windows and drive sda in Ubuntu. I loaded my Grub2 boot loader into sda and it all worked out fine. My dual boot works good, but reconnecting Drive E back, made it go back to Disk 0 under Disk Management. Why doesn't the system recognize Drive C as Disk 0?
