    Cant Boot After Removing Hard Drives


    I decided to remove my two hard drives and only have the SSD running but Windows must have installed part of itself on one of the hard drives because the machine will no longer boot giving the select proper boot device error.

    Is there a way I can repair this without having to plug the hard drive back in. I don't want Windows on the slow drive anyway.

    :)
