hey guys sorry for sounding like a total noob, but recently i have re-installed windows 7 on a freshly formatted 120Gb ssd, windows now boots slower than ever than it did before and i have reinstalled all the necessary drivers ect, but i was going through partition manager and noticed that my main boot drive which is my ssd was inactive, instead it says my 2nd hard drive is active, ignore the D: drive in this screenshot thats just a usb flash drive, take a look at this screenshot and tell me whats wrong http://imgur.com/WZnNUKc

This occurred because you left the hdd installed when you installed windows.
easybcd does have a utility in it to rectify this or you can just disconnect the hdd and reinstall windows again. Dont forget to let the pc sit at the logon screen for several hours so that trim has a chance to do its thing.

my issue has nothing to do with a usb flash drive, i want to know why my pc is booting and shutting down so slowly, in partition manager it says the 2nd hard drive, which is only used to store games is the active partition and yet my main boot drive (ssd) is inactive
