Hi.
Problem:
I bought a new SSD disk because my current one is getting to small.
I unplug the old one and pluged in the new SSD disk. Installd win7 on it.
I was planing to use the old one as storage. Power down the computer and pluged in the old one SSD disk again. Started the system, everything went well. Now to my surprise I tryed to delete volume on the old one, didnt work. Tryed format it, didnt work. I did it in computer management. I got a message: cannot delete ative system partition.
I want a clean disk. I understand I got some security problems.

Question:
Have do I make It work?

Best

Ensure that the SSD drive is the boot device and the active partition.

Thank´s.
Do I really have to pick the computer apart again:( Is there no software solution or other way you can think of?
I´s there no program that stretches into the kernel and the disk. What I´m thinking, is alterring the BOOT secter manualy, altering the activ and primary bit´s. That would bee fun doing it that way.
In the old days there was a Norton Commander that hade that ability. It was posible to alter all bits on the disk.
Youst wondering.
