I built a PC last year with a used 750GB HDD with Windows 7. I performed a clean install. A couple of months later I bought a Samsung SSD for the OS main boot drive. I used the Samsung Migration software to move the OS to the SSD, everything went smooth. I recently bought a 2T HDD because I started running out of space. I now have everything transferred over to the new HDD and would like to remove the old HDD from my PC, but I noticed the Boot, Config, Logs, Users, Windows, Perflogs, and Temp folders are on the HDD and not the SSD. I wasn't sure if this would cause boot problems if the drive was removed. Also looking at my Disk Management, I noticed Drive C, OS Drive, says System, Boot, Page File, Active, Crash Dump, Primary Partition; Drive D, the one I want to remove, says Active, Primary Partition; lastly Drive E, the new drive, only says Primary Partition. I'm not sure why I have 2 Active drives, but that second active drive is also why I don't want to remove the old drive. If anyone could guide me in the right direction for removing this drive, I would greatly appreciate it. If there is any other info that you may need, let me know and I will do my best to help. Thank you

The Windows folder should be on the C drive which should be the SSD, it's not on that? You did a clone of the 750 drive to the SSD? Does the system boot if the other drive is unplugged? If not, then something did not get cloned properly and you are still booting off the old drive and not your new SSD.
