| 1372905 | 2014-04-17 02:01:00 | One of my old computers has 2 identical internal hard drives, C and D . Hard drive C is dying so I loaded a healthy backup disk image of C on to D (using disk imaging program) . That went fine --- all the files are there . How do I make it boot from D drive rather than C? In the very old days we had to change master/slave jumper but that doesn't seem to be the case for SATA . Thanks!
