I have cloned my ssd from my hard drive. I want to make the ssd primary for
everything--boot, programs, etc and use the HDD solely as backup. I assume
I need to plug the ssd into the primary SATA 0 port on the motherboard so
the system will treat the ssd as the c: drive (screen shot
http://screencast.com/t/lQtOSeP349A5). But when I do this and boot to the
ssd, I get a message to insert the windows 7.1 disk for repair. Once I do
insert (the disk that came with the system), I get a message that the disk
does not contain the proper repair program. (The system still seems to
expect to see the HDD as primary).
Maybe I can just plug the ssd into the SATA 1 port on the momtherboard? But
how do I have the system treat the ssd as the primary drive and label it C:
so that when I access a program from the programs menu (by clicking the
start button), the system access thes SSD?
Here is what I have now with the ssd labeled as G, I and J.

(I do not know why the cloning software created 3 partitions on the ssd but
I can fix that later).
