I just finished installing Windows 7 on a brand new, newly configured HDD (A WD Caviar Blue 320GB). The OS is working fine, but when I try to boot with only the new drive plugged in, the BIOS or whatever says I need to connect my old drive.
More info: As opposed to installing Win7 via CD at boot, I installed it from the autorun while XP (previous OS) was running. When I fire up the set-up that has the old and new drives both connected, it works, but asks me whether I want to boot into XP or Win7.
I am using Win7 Ultimate 32 bit and XP SP 3
I would greatly appreciate any help, as I am forced to use a drive that shouldn't have any Win7 files on it to boot
