About this tag
The tag 'device missing' on WindowsForum.com covers situations where a storage device, such as a hard drive, is not detected by the system after installation or configuration changes. In one example, a user installed Windows 7 on a new drive while an old drive with Windows XP remained connected, but after removing the old drive, the system failed to boot, indicating that the new drive was missing or not recognized. This tag is relevant for troubleshooting boot failures, drive detection issues, and hardware configuration problems in Windows environments.

Windows 7 Installation dependent on two hard drives?
I wonder if someone can tell me what's going on here. I installed Windows 7 Pro (64 bit Upgrade edition) tonight. I have two hard drives in this system, one of which is old and has a Windows XP install on it. I was planning on retiring that drive, but I'd heard that if I kept in the computer...- CSP2
