Hey guys,
I just made the transition from HDD to SSD.
My SSD took up the D drive by default, since my HDD was using C. When I installed Windows 7 on the SSD (both drives has W7), the SSD became my primary drive.
Now, I want to change the drive letter, but it won't let me, or more along the lines of, I have no clue how.
I want my SSD to be the C drive, and my HDD to be the D drive, but it's not letting me make the change. I'm okay with things being formatted if that's what is required.
Can anyone tell me how to do it? Thank you.
Here's what I did so far.
1. Go to Disk Management and change the HDD to E drive, and make the SSD my C drive. However, it gives me error, "Parameter is incorrect."
2. (pending)
Since you installed Windows on the SSD with the old HD still connected, you can't change anything. When you install an operating system on a computer with multiple drives, the boot partition will always be on the primary drive, even if the OS is installed on another partition or another drive.
If you remove or change anything on the original hard drive, your system isn't going to boot.
You're going to have to remove the old hard drive and only have the SSD connected, then reinstall Windows. It would also be a good idea to make sure that the SSD is on the lowest SATA port number (labelled on the motherboard, it will either be 1 or 0) because drive order goes by which port on the SATA controller it's attached to.
Thanks for the help, but I resorted to more drastic measures to fix the "issue."
What'd you end up doing? - Out of curiosity.
