I'm stumped by an issue with my laptop's three internal drives.
I have a Dell Studio 1747 with three internal drives.
Windows 10 on drive 1
Windows 7 on drive 2
General storage on drive 3
I've bought a new computer, and tried to move storage drive 3 to new comptuer.
Rebooted laptop and getting PXE media test failure from Windows 10 drive 1.
Changed boot order to drive 2, got same PXE error.
Reinstalled storage drive 3, changed boot order to drive 3, and booted fine.
There are no system files on the drive 3 that I can sell (even looked at hidden drives) but somehow Windows 10 drive 1 won't boot without drive 3 installed.
Any ideas? Could it be the MBR is corrupted somehow?
