I've got 2 drives in my system, a SATA which I always used as the boot drive, and a IDE drive for storage.
In my BIOS the SATA drive is configured to be the 1st drive, then the IDE is 2nd (boot order)
Somehow when I installed Win7 it configured the IDE drive to be the primary boot drive, even though it installed itself onto the correct drive.
So I had to change the BIOS to reflect the IDE to be 1st, otherwise I got the to ntldr error.
I was hoping I could fix this without a reinstall. I had the installer dvd in the drive for a while being to lazy to take it out, and of course this hid the problem until I had a ton of stuff reinstalled.
So basically, I need to move the bootloader from 1 drive to the other. Possible?
I was thinking to disconnect the IDE drive and then run something to fix the bootloader, this should put the bootloader where it belongs, shouldn't it?
