Installed Win7 with 1 SSD and 1 HDD plugged in, BIG mistake, need help
I've searched the forums and realize now that it was a huge mistake installing the OS while both new drives were plugged in. Windows did an update to service pack 1 and now it will not load past the windows screen. I've unplugged the HDD where the OS is not installed and then it will boot and load windows. I'm assuming in order to have use of both drives that I will need to do a clean install on the SSD while the HDD is NOT plugged in. Once that is done I'm assuming I would then plug the HDD back in and make sure boot is set to SSD in the bios. IF that works correctly, then I assume that I would need to try to use diskpart in order to clean since the MBD was installed on the HDD and that diskpart is the only way to clear that? EDIT: maybe not the only way, but the easiest means I have available to me.
SSD is on sata 0
HDD is on sata 1
I have noinformationdata on the drives that Ineedwish to keep, so wiping them is not a problem. I just need to know the proper way of completing this.
Thanks in advance for any help.
