Hi all.
Ive got a problem that i cant solve..
on my sata drive win 7 was damaged. so i bought a ssd disk that i connected.
I then put win 7 on that ssd and try booting.. it starts booting from my old hdd.
In the main start screen i pressed f12 and then could select the ssd and it boots fine.
I then can see my old hdd and all on it so only win crashed.
Now i formatted the old drive and still it trys to boot it ,so i get errors for that.
I tryed to set the ssd as first boot in bios witch i couldnt.
then i changed the wires from both hhd and ssd , now it sees my ssd as master but still it boots from my old hdd.
Now i removed my old hdd and now its ok, but i want to put it in again HOW
thanks in advance.

This is because you installed windows tot he SSD while the hdd was still in the system so it used/wrote the system partition to the hdd.
Either
- remove the ssd and run windows startup repair (you may have to run it 3 or 4 times to fix the issue)

- or disconnect the hdd and install windows to the ssd again.

- install easybcd and use the 'change boot drive' option (located in backup /repair) to copy the system partition to the ssd (ssd must still be first in the boot priority)
