Active Partition Question on new Win7 Install
I recently upgraded from winXP x64 to win7 Ultimate. I added a 128 GB SSD drive (C) and have one 2 tb (D & E) and one 1 tb (F) hard drive. I've been installing most of my applications on the D partition and data on E and a data backup on F.
Everything was fine until I temporarily added another hard drive which I formatted to prepare it as a backup drive. This seemed to go fine too, but when I rebooted I got the dual (triple in this case) screen with Ubuntu, earlier version of windows, and win7. I realized where the non-win7 version were coming from; my D drive where I had winXP and Ubuntu.
I checked the System Configuration Boot tab and it shows only Windows 7 (C:\Windows) : Current OS; Default OS. But under the disk management, it shows only drive D has an active partition.
So I know why I'm seeing the triple boot screen, but I'm not sure if I can safely make C active and D not active?
