System Partition on Wrong Disk

I also had the problem of the system and boot partitions being on separate drives (as seen in the Disk Management Console). It prevented my backup program (EaseUS ToDo 8.9) from being able to do a proper system backup. I have four hard drives. The one containing Win7 was marked as Boot, but one of the other three HDs was marked as System. I did the following:

1. Shut down PC.
2. Unplug the other three HDs.
3. Reboot into Win7.
4. Check the Disk Management Console to ensure that my main HD is now marked as Boot AND System.
5. Shut down PC and reconnect the other three HDs.
6. Reboot into Win7.
7. Check the Disk Management Console to ensure that my main HD is still marked as Boot AND System.

Thanks for the help and I hope this reply helps others.

Easiest would be to transfer the bootmgr to C - then you can disregard the system partition. Bootmgr - Move to C:\ with EasyBCD

The reason your system partition landed on Disk0 is because the installer always grabs the disk with the lowest port number for it.

Hey ..I need your help...I was using windows xp installed in my c drive...later I installed windows 7 ..but on another disk...now I want to remove windows xp and make 7 as primary one...how to do it

You have to copy the bootmgr to C as to the instructions above. You have to run Windows7 so that this is C. Then you can delete the XP partition.

OK..so it will move windows 7 to c drive?..can u provide with a full guide..thanks
