It’s great when things go according to plan. A few months back, I messed up my computer when playing with the partitions with PartitionMagic (never use it!) Now I have a different open source package that works much better. Anyway, my computer was messed up, so I reinstalled Windows on a second hard drive. From then on, I boot from my D: drive. Now, I want to move everything from my old drives to the new one, and format the old drive so it’s fresh and clean, no paritioning errors or anything. But to make sure my computer doesn’t have any dependencies, I want to disable the drive first to make sure I don’t need it and that I have all the data want. It’s my Master drive, though, and my BIOS will only boot from C:. Windows and other software also assumes C: drive bootup, even if not directly. Your boot manager can be on C: while you actually boot from D: or some other drive.
