Windows 7, seperate hard drive.
Hi guys, im new here and registered to ask this question in an expert forum
Right i installed Windows 7 onto a new hard drive last night as its much larger and faster I was having major troubles, long story but lets call that C: now, and my old windows 7 installation D:
The new C: i have installed windows to is a SATA Drive and my old D: is an IDE which is obviously set to primary master. Now its taking a while to boot up and i'm guessing thats because my primary master is still connected to my old windows drive. I also have another harddrive, which is E: which is set to primary slave. I cant format my D: (old windows boot) because it says windows couln't complete the format. How do i go about making my current C: (SATA) my primary slave, and what slave do i leave my games drive, E: at? Sorry its a little confusing i know. And also, when i try format my old windows boot, i right click my computer and click format. If i try going to My Computer>Manage>Disk Management and delete volume, and formatting it that way, it says Windows cannot delete the active system partition on this disk. What can be active on it? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Jamie
