Hello,
Here is question I haven't managed to find an explanation for after some searching.
I have windows 7 64bit SP1 (Asus P8P67 Deluxe) with an SSD (Windows disk) and 2 other data disks (contains only data, no OS).
In the BIOS it is possible to select any of these 3 as boot disks. No matter which one I select, it still boots Windows 7 from the SSD fine.
Why is this? My guess is that the data disks contain Boot Loaders also, that points to the SSD Windows installation? Is this the case? If so, how can I check this?
Is it possible to configure a disk as not-bootable, without formatting?
Thanks.
