Hi guys, this post might seem redundant to other posts, but I can't seem to find any solution for my problem.
So I have a 500GB HDD and 64GB SSD, and both of them I have windows 7 os installed on them. I want to use both of them (like as different user account).
I formatted both for clean windows install, and I did the HDD first. I downloaded all updates in the HDD, and I wanted to clean install on the SSD. After I installed windows 7, I couldn't get the HDD to boot. In the BIOS the boot option is listed as #1. HDD and #2. UEFI thing. Even though boot option is listed as HDD first, it goes straight for the SSD. The SSD isn't even on the list.
Next I go to the Boot Menu and find SSD and HDD. I press the HDD, but instead it boots to the SSD.
So I tried disconnecting the SSD to see if it can boot to the HDD. When I do that, the "Reboot and select proper boot device of death" come out. I tried clearing CMOS, but it won't work.
I still have access to the folders when I go to My Computer and Local Disk (D: ). The SATA mode is on AHCI (i believe).
PS: As you can see, my SSD is 64 gb... Barely can fit a big game like Splinter Cell Blacklist. It takes like 25gb worth of space to have full windows 7 installed. Are there any way I can store big games into HDD and play it with the SSD (like booted to the SSD)?
