NTLDR missing when using different drive to boot

I have two hard drives on the PC, and I've created PMQ file while 200gb drive
was primary, and 70 gb drive was secondary. I went ahead and created image,
and loaded it - works.

Now I want to make 70 gb drive primary (bootable, C:) and 200gb drive my
data drive, but when I load image on system in this configuration I get
"NTLDR missing" on boot.

Is there a way to fix this in configuration file, I have to recreate
everything from the beginning?
 
flamey,

Are you changing the drive order on the device? I mean if you swapped the drives? If so, then the image should work as long as you
keep the ntldr on the first drive (the one that you want to be C: and the one that connected to the first controller in master mode)

If not, then you'd need to either change the image build to have the system on D: drive (or E: if CD-ROM is there) or play with the
MountedDevices system reg.key to have the system see the second drive as C: (search NG archive for more info)
