Solved Disk #s Out of Order?

I have three OSs at the moment - one came with the PC, another is 7 and the third one is the latest copy of 7 installed on a SSD - I am still testing this (not too much free time at the moment). I have the SSD installed at the SATA port 1 (or 0, don't quite remember how they are numbered on the motherboard, that's disk 0 anyways). I have no problem at all booting any of the three, but indeed I may leave only one disk and boot the corresponding OS - I guess that's equivalent to what you're getting by installing with other drives unplugged.

The post was made while running the OS on Disk 1. All three OS partitions are marked as "active", otherwise I would not be able to boot from them.
