Title should be:
The system partition is on one hdd, but I want to boot the OS in the SSD. What to do?
Hi, I'm writing after about 2 hours reading FAQ.
In this moment I have 1 xp(with missing sata driver) and 1 win 7 on a ssd.
And 1 xp and 1 win7 on a hdd.
The final goal will be having xp and 7 on the ssd. (I will have to reinstall xp and tweak it with the multilanguage interface, I prefer not do this now)
But now the problem I have, is that the system partition (on disk management there is only one partition called "system") is on the hdd, but I want to boot fast, and directly choosing win 7 on ssd, without having to wayt the bootloader starting from the hdd.
When I choose as primary boot the ssd, I can only choose between the two win xp (the system names are written white on black).
When I set the boot on the hdd I have all 4 possibilities (the system names are written black on a white bar).
Cud you tell me how can I change this, how can I set the system on the ssd? Or make a 4xdual boot without waiting the hdd?
only if there is a quite fast way to do it.
For now I would like to have all the 4 possibilities on the ssd. And when I get time reinstall xp on the ssd and delete the other 2 OS (those saved me already a few times from reinstalling everything).
I also noticed strange behaviours writing the mbr from the different windows install.
For example I saved the settings and wrote the win 7 mbr via easyBCD, but when I start the pc sequence is different.
The one I see, I probably saved it from another OS.
A feedback about the FAQ's I think these are too long.
I would need a resumee to use only the f.a.q.. Don't care about the details just want to understand the concept.
Sorry people today I spent 5 hours studying anatomy from a 1000 pages book. I cud resume a 30 minutes reading, and explain the concept in 2 minutes to the grandma of my friend, in german. (german is a foreign language to me, but I mean the concept was easy, to explain it, the book used one whole page) And she answered "das ist aber interessant!".
