I just added an SSD drive and installed win7 on it. I plan to use it instead of my old hard drive which has been partitioned into C: and D: with C; being the boot drive. Sadly I cannot use my bios to select the SSD drive as a bootable drive except by pressing the F9 select boot drive. For some reason it shows up there but not if I just go into my bios and set it there. Anyway if it is the only drive it will boot fine but as long as both my old hard drive and the SSD drive are on it will default to booting from my old hard drive. I also have a second hard drive, E:, which is not bootable and it doesn't cause any problems (ie: SSD + E: boots fine). So... I would like to disable the boot files on my existing old hard drive's C: TEMPORARILY until I'm happy that everything is working fine and then I'll delete it merge the space into D:. I thought it should just be a matter of renaming a few Win boot files. Can anyone tell me which ones and if it is safe to temp rename them?
