    It really is a matter of personal preference. You don't need a drive letter assigned to the active partition used for booting only. You can keep the drive letter assigned to it if you want to, or change the drive letter to "none".

    Assuming you have Minitool Partition Wizard & Easy BCD installed.
    Here's a short Video on how to:
    NOTE: Since I am doing this on a test HD, not my real OS drive, Windows won't ask to reboot to perform the action. In your case, you might be asked to reboot and it's normal.

    C: drive is a logical partition. You can't boot from a logical partition.

    Glad you got it worked out, Diggs, which solution worked for you so that others can benefit from your solution?

    I converted Partition C: from logical to primary using minitool partition, and then, using easy bcd, i changed boot drive from windows 7 partition to C:, and set it 'active' using cmd.

    Of course not - but once you copy the bootmgr, it won't be a logical partition any more. That's part of the deal. Suggest next time you do your homework before posting.
