change system hard drive

Is it booting with E unplugged? Good work.

Make sure E stays marked Inactive. If not, I'd move the data off and use PW CD to Wipe the HD from Disk tab. I would not want it continuiing to hold the System flag as it could interfere in the future.

no it did the job with everything still plugged
only made E inactive before Rebuilding MBR, didnt autostart either
hence the "quickly and easily" remark
it remains inactive and everything is fine, thanks again

Sounds good.

Just one last question: Is C now System Active?

 

[zuth]

yes it is.
the other two, E and F are 'Primary partition'
