Disable boot flag from HDD
Bought Dell XPS 8700 with normal HDD.
Bought Samsung SSD 840EVO 250GB. Installed it, and used Samsung Data Migration to clone the HDD.
Now, how can we disable the "boot" flag from the HDD so that only the SSD boots. But I want to retain/keep the original HDD data just incase for future.

Disconnect the original HDD sata cable from the motherboard sata connector and leave it disconnected. Or, go into the Bios- Boot- Hard Disk Drivers and put the SSD as 1st Boot Device. Open the 2nd Boot Device (original HDD) and change to Disabled.
