Yesterday I had a problem with HDD disk - my Windows wouldn't boot when it was disconnected although I had Windows installed on my SSD. It was resolved thanks to @SkyNetRising advice from some old thread. I did what he wrote in this thread:

  1. Shrink C: partition by 500MB
  2. Make a new primary partition in freed up space, format NTFS, drive letter X:
  3. Make the new partition active
  4. execute command from elevated command prompt:
  • bcdboot c:\windows /s x:
  1. Reboot your pc into BIOS, change boot priority so that 120GB drive is first
  2. Reboot and done

It's working! But now I have a separate X disk when I open My Computer which I won't use. Is it safe to delete X letter for this disk in Disk Management? It should disappear from My Computer files if I do that but I'm worried my PC won't boot when this disk no longer be marked as X?
