I got a new SSD. 120 GB, Kingston

I connected it to my PC, now I have a HDD and the new SSD connected to it.
I boot my pc with the HDD, formated the SSD in Computer Management, and then installed Windows 7 on the SSD.

Now when I boot my computer with the HDD, it gives me 2 options,
Windows 7 or
Windows 7

If I choose the first one It boots with the new windows I installed on my SSD, If I choose the second one It boots to my old one, with all the files I had etc.

But If I try to boot through the SSD, ( ESC and then f8 to choose the one I want to boot with ) it says "BOOTMGR is missing"
So this means this SSD now depends on having the HDD also connected to the computer...


And I can't get the ISO to burn onto a CD..
Any suggestions?

You need to disconnect the HDD, and then install Windows on the SSD. You added another windows install to the system - leaving the actual boot partition on the HDD. You need to blow away the partitions on the SSD, and have it create a new boot partition on the SSD along with the OS.

> Cant install Windows if HDD and SSD are connected at the same time
> Cant boot the pc if only the SSD is connected.

I don't have a CD with windows on it.
I have an instalation folder that I can use if my PC is turned on, problem is I can't turn on the PC with only the SSD connected.
