    nt6repair is on my sig.

    Boot into win7 on your mechanical hd

    Run nt6repair as admin

    use the fix os drive letter section. Select the windows partition on the nvme in the dropdown. It wont be c:\windows because that is the mechanical disk you are booted into. Select the other one. Click Fix.

    Have a look and see if the d:\windows\system32\config\software is there

    It loads the software hive first to find the assigned os letter ( it usually c but not necessarily, so it always checks )

    it is! it seems like theres a error in the coding of the program that it is missing a \ so it tries to find D:\WindowsSystem32\config instead of D:\Windows\System32\config

    it seems like thats fixed! now SSD is C drive after booting into it, and everything else seems correct as well.

    one last question before i mark as solved, is this normal for windows 7?

    1. You probably want the io inf files to get rid of the yellow bangs. Browse to them from device manager.

    That will be something to do with your bios settings. It wont let you eject while it is in use, so it doesnt matter.
