I recently re-installed Windows 7. I have 2 internal drives and the drives properties seem incorrect in disk management.

The System drive's properties are listed as
Disk 1 (Boot, Page File, Active, Crash Dump, Primary Partition)

The data drive's properties are listed as
Disk 0 (System, Active, Primary Partition)

I believe the System drive should have System as one of it's properties

...and the data drive should not have System, Active as properties.

Should I change these properties and how can these properties be changed? Also the Disk number are reversed. Should the disk numbers be corrected also?

Post a picture of Windows Disk Management to avoid confusion.

We need to see info at the partition level, not drive level.

I'd guess you have a System Reserved partition on the data drive.

I'd guess you have a system reserved partition on the data drive.

Both drives seem to have one partition each.
