Hi --
I just installed a new SSD as Drive F: in a brand new Dell machine and would like it to be the boot drive. The Dell currently boots Windows 7 from drive C:. I installed Windows 7 on the F: drive and can choose which OS to boot to at start up. I would now like to make the SSD the C: drive, but can't do it using the native OS management software.
Can someone tell me whether EasyBCD can let me do this? I've downloaded it and run it, and it looks like the Advanced Settings let you set the drive letter for the volumes, but I don't see an option to use C: for this SSD drive. However, there is an option to set the drive letter to BOOT -- is that what I want?
Thanks,
Ramon
Addendum:
BTW, I've only just done the fresh Windows 7 install on the SSD, so if the actual solution involves reformatting that F: drive and reinstalling Windows 7 with some other settings, that works too.
Thanks in advance for your help,
Ramon
