Hey guys so I have a PC I built about a year ago. Everything was new except for the hard drives. They were pulled from a few older computers that got donated to me. I used a 120gb 5400 Laptop sata drive that I boot from and I also have a 500gb Drive that was loaded with windows 7 and programs.
When I got the 120gb hard drive I was told it was a solid state drive and due to its size I didn't think nothing about it and set it up thinking it would boot faster. Obviously since its a older 5400 rpm laptop drive windows load time and file exploring is kind of slow.
I purchased a new Seagate 2tb hard drive installed it and it received G: designation in Windows. After some research I used Macrium Reflect software to Clone my C: drive to new G: drive and my plans was to just use the 2tb drive as my primary as well as boot drive. I thought if I simply cloned the Drive I could disable the C drive in disk management and Format but then I remembered that the 120gb drive is what windows loads from and its searching for the 500gb drive. I figured this out when it woudnt boot once I unplugged the 500gb drive.
I am not sure how I go about setting this up.My goal is I want to be able to boot form the 2tb drive I just got and remove the old laptop drive and have the 500gb drive for my phone backup data. I really don't have enough time to do a complete wipe and reinstall everything fresh.
Its been since the Dos Days that I have messed with hard drives and I couldn't find any info on how I could correct this.
