Hi,
I made my secondary 1tb hard drive inactive through the above process. I was told to restart my computer so that I could reformat it. I had to do this because my 1tb hard drive was set up for windows 7, and I was on windows 8. However, now my computer says
An operating system wasn't found. Try disconnecting any drives that don't contain an operating system.
However, I have windows 8.1 installed on my C: drive that is still active. I have gone through BIOS to ensure that my C: drive is the selected first boot option, but I'm getting this error. I have also disconnected my supposedly "inactive" 1tb secondary hard drive. How can I fix this?
Here was the guide that I was following (method 2):
