Windows boots into drive different from BIOS (msconfig causing problem)?

I have a HDD for data, a OCZ SSD that used to boot the OS and a Samsung SSD which I re-installed Windows 7 on: This setup has been working fine for months.

A couple of days ago I had problems loading Blizzard's Battle Net client and as per their instructions I did a 'selective startup' using System Configuration; this fixed the problem and I changed it back to 'normal startup'. However when I turn the computer on the resolution is tiny, the time is wrong and some items appear missing. I looked at Disk Management and somehow the old OCZ SSD is now the C: drive that Windows 7 and everything else loads from. I went into the BIOS but strangely priority and boot order show the Samsung SSD and not the OCZ one. I also manually booted into the Samsung drive but nothing changed.

I know the resolution is weird and stuff is missing because it's all on the Samsung drive and not on the OCZ one which everything is loading from. Why did this happen and how would I go about swapping the drives back?

I cannot find a way to change/select an SSD from here:

The Samsung is set as the E drive: It is like the two SSDs have magically swapped places. Disk Management also shows the OCZ SSD as the boot drive, according to the status information.

I believe I unplugged the OCZ before hand to make it simpler but I can't say for definite as it was a few months ago.
