What do I need to do to set up a drive as the boot drive?
I made some hardware changes recently and things got a little screwy. I bought a new hard drive and installed Windows (Vista) on it but it the computer won't boot when it is the only drive that's plugged in. I had to plug the old drive as well just to get the system to boot.
It's weird because once it boots up it asks me to select the operating system I want to use (from two identical choices of Windows Vista) and depending on which one I select I will either run the old or new hard drive. So the new one works just fine - I just can't boot from it. How to fix this?
