| 1443874 | 2017-12-19 21:26:00 | Hi all, There are two Samsung Evo 120GB SSDs on my Win7 Ult system: one SSD @ 32bit, the other @ 64bit (to run 3D printing software that only comes in 64bit) Problem is that both C drives appear in my file manager. I haven't found a way to hide one C from the other. Is this even possible? The other question is: does Win 7 contain a method of quickly dual booting between one SSD and the other without going via the BIOS boot screen? Help much appreciated and best Xmas wishes to you. |

| 1443875 | 2017-12-19 21:44:00 | neosmart.net Try that for sorting out your Dual Boot. You will need to restart still, but that makes changing how it's setup a lot easier. You could remote the drive letter of the 'other' drive from within disk management - I'd think that wouldn't cause any issues. Does it matter that you can see the other drive/partition? That is normal behavior in this situation. |

| 1443877 | 2017-12-19 22:02:00 | Thanks for the easybcd tip wratterus. I understood with several active partitions on the same drive it was important to hide one from the other. I assumed this was also true of SSDs. I've already mistakenly added content to the other SSD than the booted one. There are no partitions on the SSDs. |
