However I don't know how to do that and have no mfg instructions to help either. I am sure it is probably pretty simple. Also I am a litle nervous that if I manage the change Windows opperating system which is in the C drive will not work properly as most references will now be to D drive	Guest (0)

A suggestion from a respondent was to make C the slave and D the master so that first preference for storage would be D drive. However as you pointed out Windows normally needs to boot from C drive. Can I easily alter this so it boots from the D instead?	Guest (0)
