Fixing Boot Manager on SSD, Win7 installed with other HDD active
Found some other posts on this subject and it appears I need the Boot files copied to my SSD so it can boot without the other drive active. Situation is:
Win7 installed on SSD while first system disk still connected now won't boot unless first system disk also installed. First system disk has Win XP installed. Not normally an issue as it boots up with both drives but assume I'd be better having the ability to boot independently. Here is result from bcdedit /enum all:

and here is screen shot of disk manager:
Ideally I'd like to leave the spinning disc bootable from a boot menu if required but to normally boot to the SSD without going through the boot menu. From what I've read I think I only need to copy the boot files to the SSD. Currently it boots straight from the SSD but fails if I disconnect the XP HDD which has the boot files. Only found this out when trouble shooting a boot problem after installing some new hardware.
In the screen shot disk 0 is the original spinning disc with XP. Disk 1 is my data storage array. Disk 2 is the SSD with Win 7.
Appreciate any guidance on fixing this.
Thanks
Chris
