Weird Boot Issue
Hi,
I have Dell Studio XPS 430MT, it came with two 500GB HDDs, I took the promary and put it in another PC, i bought another 1TB and put it inside my Dell.
It has been working fine, but now i want to take out my another 500GB that came with it, and when i remove the HDD, the System doesn't boot correcly, it shows:
No boot device Avalible.
SATA 0: installed
SATA1: "something like not installed"
SATA... etc...
When i put my 500GB back, it works perfectly. It is as if the BIOS depends on this 500GB HDD.
Thanks and I really Appreciate your help..

I am assuming the 500GB is not currently in the PC? If no, remove it. Connect the 1TB to sata 0. Connect the optical drive to sata 1. Power on, go into the bios. What is listed by sata devices?

This kinda explains my Issuea forums.techarena.in/.../901456.htm
Plus, in the Disk Management, I see the 500GB (not the primary OS) as Active, System, Primary Storage. Now how do i make the 1TB, the Windows 7 HDD i use the Active, System??
