ssd I want to boot from can't boot without other hard drive connected
Hello all
I had windows 10 on hard drive G. Then, I clean installed windows 7 on hard drive C , an SSD. Before all of this I had other hard drives that H and D ( same hard drive , partitioned) , I don't remember how or why I partitioned the old ones...
Now, I wanted to delete win 10 from G, but i read sometimes that when you install like I did, the new windows boot process needs files from the old hard drive. So to test this I disconnected the old hard drive (G). I couldn't boot. So I reconnected the old hard drive, and still couldn't boot to windows 7 on the new ssd (C), however it would boot to the old windows 10 (G). I finally put in my windows 7 disc, and let it run a startup repair, this recovered my windows 7 on C.
So here I am, and I want to completely wipe hard drive G, and make my primary, and only booting drive, hard drive C. possibly also un-partition h and d , make it just be one drive.
