Installed Windows on new disk - still booting from old disk
Hi
I have 2 disks one is the original HDD (disk 0) and one is the SSD (disk 1).
I installed Win7 on the SSD but can't get my system to boot from the new install.
On my HDD, the Win7 install is on a 29GB partition which has no space. I want to run off the 75GB SSD.
I can't seem to set the boot flag on disk 1 partition 1 - or disable it on disk 0 partition 2.
If I disconnect (physically unplug) disk 0 - the HDD, my system will not boot. Even if I select the remaining SSD from the boot menu.
Thanks
