100 MB Boot Partition went to wrong drive help required please

Hi guys it has been a while since I have been here due to some ill health, that aside I do need some urgent help.

My SSD failed and since I use my other 2 spinners as data storage with an external drive I thought I would use and old 250GB spinner that I had laying around to install windows on until my SSD gets replaced under warranty.

Installation no problem but now I see that one of my spinners the Seagate 1TB has become the 100MB drive. The problem being that it has loads of stuff on there that I really want and need.

So the question is can I get rid of the 100MB partition and then revert my spinner back to the way it was? I have not written anything to it at all as I want to preserve it as much as possible.

Is this possible and how and will my system still boot up without the 100MB partition ?

Hope somebody can help me urgently many thanks in advance

Steve, I would not worry. I run one system with that same configuration since 2 Years (could not disconnect one of the drives during the installation). And I was too lazy to fix it later. As long as you do not reformat the big drive, nothing bad will happen.

For future installations do as Greg says - disconnect all drives except the one on which you install. The Win7 installer does this act all the time - grabs the first drive in sight for the 100MB partition. That's why it is good to wire the OS drive to Port0.

Many thanks guys I have fixed it now just needed to assign a drive letter in the disk management and I have it back again, but your input as always most valuable reminds me not to cut corners out of frustration in future.

My Bad Greg it wasn't on another Disk I was just so tired when I was doing it I just didn't look correctly, big mistake. Here is the screen shot now though anyway.
