[junqi89]

Hi All, i got 2 hdd. previously first hdd was my primary. recently i bought a new hard disk. so i clone 1st hdd image into the new one that i just bought. I then put the one that i just bought as the primary. In other words i swap the hdd between both. When i try to boot up. it still boot up the 2nd hdd anyone know why ? can advise me on this ?

You need to post your Disk Management with the columns expanded so we can read all of the print. Use your Snipping Tool to do this. If you need instructions, read this tutorial. http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/9733-screenshots-files-upload-post-seven-forums.html

I'd start by starting system with only one drive installed. Make your cloned drive with boot.
