Real fundamental question but I forgot how this works.
My D drive is used only as a backup to periodically clone my C drive. I want to start using my D drive as the main drive and my C drive for future backup after I transfer files.
The way my system runs I set up a boot record using Easy BCD so that I can boot from either drive at startup. I can simply change the order for which hard drive will boot first using EasyBCD to edit the boot record, but then the connection at the motherboard for my default hard drive will not be in the usual 0 position. Does it matter? Is this the best way to do it?
However, was also wondering will I lose my boot record if I just pull out both hard drives and then connect the cloned D drive in the 0 position where my C drive was? I'd like to avoid making a change that will make me lose the boot record. I've done that before and it was real time consuming for me to fix.
