| | Download and install Easybcd 2.0 on 7. [You may not host or mirror these files anywhere! EasyBCD 2.0 Beta Builds - The NeoSmart Forums ] Click Useful Utilities.Dot Change Boot Drive. Click Rescue My System.  In the drop down select C. Then Click OK.  Change Bios boot order so Disk 0 is first in HD boot order ( or swap the Sata cables)  |

| | Thanks for the tip SIW2, but the program you recommended doesn't work. Always gives the same error message, even in safe mode.  |

| | I asked about changing the drive letter, about a month ago, as Win 7 installed on my Drive "E". From the discussion on the subject the only way would be to do a clean reinstall and ensure that the drive you want to install the OS on is (temporarily) the only drive installed. That will force Win 7 to install on the "C" drive. |

| | That's interesting - it might be having trouble with the Dynamic Disk. You will have to do it manually . It's pretty easy: Open Easybcd, click Useful Utilities, then click Easybcd Power Console. A command window opens. Type: ( press Enter after each line ) bcdboot c:\windows /s c: bootsect /nt60 c: /mbr Then close power console and easybcd. Open an elevated command and type: (press Enter after each line) Diskpart sel vol c act exi. Then close command window. Go into bios and set the 7 HD first in bios HD boot order.Or swap the cables leading from the mobo to the hard drives.

| | After you've done that . I recommend converting the Dynamic disk back to a Basic disk. Use this - it's free: Free Partition Wizard Convert Dynamic Disk to Basic Disk |
