hi, I so just reinstalled my os a few days ago, and today, i finally finish installing all the basic programs, so i opened up windows back up and select my data drive to backup on (D: ) but under it, theres that yellow triangle notification saying that the selected partition is on a active drive.
for my understanding, active drive is only suppose to be my C: drive, so i opened up diskmanagement to check, and C: drive is actually inactive, but it is my system drive.
I tried marking D as inactive with diskpart, but it doesnt change anything, it still says it is active, and if i mark C as active in diskmanagement, the OS wont load. So i put my win7 disk back in and change it back to what it was. so, what is the problem here? why isnt my system drive active? and why is my data drive active?

Can you post a screen shot Disk management?

My guess would be that the installer moved the Bootmgr to your data drive. That happens especially if there are several harddrives and the C is not on port0. Happened to me too.

You can fix the "active" part with the bootable CD of this program: BEST FREE Partition Manager Software for Windows supports all 32-bit & 64 bit Windows No-server OS. But then you have to fix the Bootmanager on C also: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/104341-bootmgr-missing-fix.html

Use Snipping Tool in Start menu, make rectangular snip of full Disk Mgmt drive map and listings while window is maximized. Attach file using paper clip in reply box.

Sorry, i was COMPLETELY wrong. because i was not using an english OS, so i directly translated the error myself, and now since i had to take a screen shot, so i changed it back to english , and the problem end up not being inactive c drive. sorry, heres the problem:

same as above, in backup and restore, after i select D: as location to save, this pops up: error 1

error 2 is what pops up after more information
