Don't understand Win7's dual boot procedure.
PC started with XP (DISK0, drive C: ). Added a second hard drive (DISK1, F: ) and put Win7 on that drive. When I boot to Win7, drive F is the OS drive.
I'm not fond of the OS being on a drive other than drive "C". My work around was to add a third drive (Disk2) and simply change the boot order in the BIOS when I want to back to XP. When I take the Win7 (DISK1) disk out, the machine doesn't boot to the original XP configuration. Evidently the machine is going to the second drive,DISK1, to get boot info.
How can I fix this so that I can go back to the machine booting with a single drive?
On a second note, is there a way when two physical disks are present that whatever the machine is using as the OS disk will be labeled "C"?
Thanks!
