[QUOTE=bigmck;2252033]I've managed to correctly get windows 7 on the SSD + download and install all correct drivers. I'm now going to reconnect the old HDD that has windows 7 on it as well. I don't need any information on it, would you guys recommend dragging everything into the trash bin or using 1 of the many wiping tutorials?
Thanks again, I really appreciate it
After reconnecting the old HDD I booted the laptop up to find out it had jumped back into the driver seat and is now the C drive yet again?
I have no idea why or what I should do at this point? My computers identical to before I had touched the SSD
Can you post a screenshot of your Disk Management. Be sure and expand the columns so we can read all of the print. Screenshots and Files - Upload and Post in Seven Forums
This question was also anticipated and answered for you yesterday:
Why would you have no idea what to do when several posts earlier I had anticipated this and told you:
And even after I repeated the rules for drivers from the tutorial several times you still downloaded 3000 driver files?
Why would you ignore advice given repeatedly to prevent you from having the very issues you encountered? And why when you're given a tutorial promising to result in a perfect install would you go out of your way to ignore it, even the attempt to spoon feed you quotes from it?

gregrocker, sorry I must have read over it by accident, thanks for reiterating everything.
i do however have a valid question. i've searched how to change boot order in bios and can't seem to apply it to my bios menu. i've attached a photo of what i'm looking at.
Here is a photo of the advance tab if its needed
As you have an EFI BIOS I would use it in Legacy Mode which allows install to MBR disk. So you'd want to expand the Legacy Boot options to look them over.
However if your old install was in EFI mode your HD may be in GPT format now. Will it boot now in Legacy mode?
As the new MOBO's now have a uEFI/BIOS firmware.
