I have 4 separate HDs
drive 1 - Ultimate 64 bit
drive 2 - Home Premium 32 bit
drive 3 - files
drive 4 - Windows 7 32 bit
VistaBootPro is installed on drive 1 with drive 4 set a default.
I deleted the OEM partition on drive 1, and now have 24 MB of unallocated
space. I want to make the unallocated space a volume, format the rest of the
drive, expand the 1st volume to encompass the entire drive and lay an image
of Ultimate 64 back on the drive. I was able to do this with drive 2, no
problems. BUT - I cannot format the Ultimate 64 drive, I assume this is
because it is the first HD and contains all the boot data.
Looked in the BIOS and can find no where that allows me to set which HD is
booted to 1st.
Thought of physically swapping drive 1 and drive 2, doing what I wanted and
then re-swapping them.
Anyone else's suggestions appreciated.
---thank God the Vista DVD is bootable and repairs boot up errors---
TIA
