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!

Seriously though, change the boot order in the BIOS/EFI setup to put the second drive above the other one.
