  1. Windows installing on wrong drive


    For some reason when I installed Windows 10 after my Windows 11 installation went a bit weird, my system is no longer registering the drives in the correct order. My Data HDD which is my long term storage and mass storage solution is listed as Disk and is D:: and my main drive which is C is listed as Disk 3 and my game drive which is Disk E: is listed as Disk 1. This is a clean installation of Windows 10 and I explicitly wiped my SATA SSD and NVME drive and it still installed Windows 10 as if the boot partition is on E: Is there any way to migrate or create a new EFI Partition on Disk 2 so

    :)

  4. Windows installing on wrong drive

    Windows 7 booting off wrong drive?!?!?

    Please move if this is in the wrong place.

    I have two hard drives, a 1.5TB drive, and a 160GB drive. Windows is installed on the 1.5TB drive, as are all my files and programs. The 160GB drive has a bunch of old files, and apparently the bootmgr and boot folder. Nothing else is on the 160GB drive, other than media files etc.

    If I remove the 160GB drive from the machine, windows refuses to boot, plug it back in, it works fine. The setup with two hard drives I have now is temporary, as the 160GB drive will go into another machine.

    My question is, can someone give me a step by step on how to make windows force to boot off the 1.5TB drive, ignoring the 160GB drive in the boot process completely?
    I don't know how to do this in Windows 7, on XP I would just run the /fixmbr command and its related ones.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Note: I would really really rather not have to wipe and reinstall, I know it can be done without one as I've had this issue with XP before.
