Yes, install it on C.
Also, when you can, post the DM screen print i asked for in post #6.
I'm sure you will need to get the Boot Manager copied to the new SSD so you can remove the old SSD.
Without seeing the DM screen print, i'm blindly guessing.
Thinking about it a bit more, I'm not sure what GParted did or how it works.
I don't know if it copied the Boot Manager to the new SSD.
Use the One Time Boot Menu and see if you can boot from the new SSD/OS.
The key you need to use at bootup to get the One Time Boot Menu depends on your specific PC / motherboard.
David, Thank you VERY much for your assistance. I'll try all of the above tomorrow and post the results.

Strange you didn`t get a boot screen allowing you to chosse either instance of 7.
But anyway, you should be able to use the one time boot menu key to choose either drive, setting the preferred drive to boot as default.
I notice that you wrote sda and sdb which are Linux-style drive labels.
If you have Linux installed and you are using GRUB, you could try running "update-grub".
WARNING:
Create backup images of your system before running the command below (just in case some weird happens).
Code:sudo update-grub
GParted is a linux app so it shows the partitions as stated
If you're using Linux for the Boot Code ignore my previous suggestion to use EasyBCD to add a boot entry.
PC has ONLY windows 7 installed. GParted works on Win.
EasyBCD IS applicable.
David, EasyBCD WORKED:). Now all I need to do is figure a way to get rid of the Win 7 on disk 1 without losing the boot.
THANK YOU - THANK YOU
