Bootmgr file located in different hard disk

To ADD a drive letter to the System Reserved partition :

Right-click on the System Reserved partition inside Disk Management and select Change Drive Letter and Paths... from the pop-up menu.


If you want to see if the System Reserved is hidden ? Open up Diskpart .

Click type CMD right click on CMD choose run as administrator
Type DiskPart
Type select disk 0
Type list partition
Now, select the hidden partition
Type select partition 1
Type detail partition and verify that it is hidden. ( if hidden the set ID would be 17 )
Set the type of the hidden partition to 07.
Type set id = 07 override
If everything goes ok, you will receive the following message “Diskpart successfully set the partition ID.“
All done. Type Exit to close DiskPart.

Hello i am new to this forum and seek for help.

I have 2 physical disk, when fresh install windows 7 both disk are connected to computer. Today i find that the "bootmgr" is placed on second drive, while the system installed on first drive.

I am afraid if i remove second drive, it cant boot the windows. Do any way to solve this? Please give me an advice.

Thanks

Here you go the " evidence " . This is from his 1st post . We could also double check with a command prompt have dir F:\

Click type in CMD once CMD comes up under Programs (1) hit < ENTER > in the command prompt windows enter this command and press < ENTER >

Dir F:\

See if you have boot folder and BOOTMGR listed .

You don't need to run as administrator to run the command .
