Start Windows and initialize the new drive. Now I have 3 drives.This gives me capability to power 3 SATA SSD drives Install SATA Y-Power cable jumper on one of the SATA connectors.I found the solution to the problem I described above. I need a foolproof way, if one exists, or I will wait until after tax season and re-install Windows 7 with only one disk installed. If that's true, then the important question really is "how do I create the System Reserved Partition (and its associated files) onto Drive 0?" Reserved Partition was installed on Drive 1 instead of Drive 0. I believe that this is because the System So clearly both drives from the initial Windows 7 install are needed to boot my system. When I replace the two drives (one-by-one) with a new SSD Drive of the same type, I get the same errors as above. When I remove the other drive, I get no bootable media found error When I remove one of the drives, I get a Boot Error asking me to Repair. Drives were configured by Windows as follows:ĭrive 0: (C:) 476.94 GB NTFS, Healthy (Boot, Page File, Crash Dump, Primary Partitionĭrive 1: System Reserved 100 MB NTFS (System, Active, Primary Partition. I installed Windows 7 with two new SSD drives. I believe that I have the same problem as Ncruz1980. In my case, the first HD is an old 200GB EIDE drive i had laying arround, in my system the best drive is a SATA 500GB (Hard Disk 1) where I'm installing the OS on. btw I read into why this partition is createdĪnd it trully makes no sense why MS is choosing the first HD to save this partition to. What is the best way to move or recreate this partition without having to reinstall Windows. If I pull\disable the drive the system won't boot correctly. The machine but it contains the Reserved Partiton. Anyways to make a long story short, I want to pull the drive off Of course, Windows created the Reserved Partition on a drive I'm planning to use for data replication only (Hard Disk 0). Last night I installed Windows 7 Pro on a machine with two hard drives. If I am all here, does that mean I am not all there? I've never found a way of removing 'reserved' after installation.
Then delete 'primary' and extend 'system'. The installer looks for the first disk, maybe prioritising from BIOS which of course is not logical (nor physical usually).īut i've always removed the 100MB partition - we dont use BitLocker - so during installation we make one partition, let windows create 100MB 'system reserved' and the 'primary' partition.
