| 1253595 | 2012-01-12 01:20:00 | I installed Windows 7 on my SSD drive but when I put back my old hard drive which is a SATA 3 with my old Windows 7 and disconnected the SSD drive it wouldn’t boot. I have an older computer that I have 3 hard drives which are removeable drives and they all boot into their OS. So I’m wondering how I can boot back to my old Hard Drive which I made into a removable drive so I can plug it in if I need it | lostsoul62 (16011) | ||
| 1253596 | 2012-01-12 01:23:00 | Make sure the SSD is the boot disk If you wanted to boot from the old hdd (to get into it), you should have left it connected. When you installed whatever on the SSD. Then it should / would have given you an option to boot from it or the SSD | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||

| 1253598 | 2012-01-12 02:39:00 | On an older c0mputer I had with multiple removable drives I discovered I could not boot from drives that were attached via a PCI card. It was only possible to boot directly from motherboard attached drives. | Paul.Cov (425) | ||

| 1253600 | 2012-01-12 15:40:00 | The bottom line on this computer is I just have to change the boot in the BIOS on which hard drive I want. So if my SSD drive crashes I will insert my other Windows 7 drive which I have in the draw change the boot and I'm back in business. I'm just going to keep the drive as a backup. | lostsoul62 (16011) | ||
