To cut a long pain in ass story short I had to install windows7 onto my 2nd drive.
Now even when I have set my primary hard drive with the original windows7 installation to boot from in BIOS and disabled the 2nd hard drive, it is still booting into the new installation.
Is there any way I can set it so it picks up the original installation?
(I have tried going to msconfig then boot tab but it is only showing 1 entry, which is the newest installation, there is nothing showing from 2nd drive, which makes no sense as all the files are still there)
If not how should I go about moving all the files from original installation onto the new one? can i just copy, paste, and overwrite? As I really do not want to set up my system again and all the program installations as I spent countless hours to get it set up how i wanted (including ways for stuff to work that wouldnt easily work in windows7)
Any help would be much appreciated! =D
