I installed a second hard drive, formatted it, partioned it into 2.
Then I decided to shrink my origial drive which was already had 2 partitions.
I shut down and it rebooted just fine.
But now I noticed these folders in the new E: partition:
Boot
bootmgr
BOOTSECT.BAK
I know these files were previously on my C: drive, but they are know gone, placed on the E: drive
In Disk manager my C: drive is listed as (Healthy, Boot, Page File, Crash Drump and Primary Partition
My D: drive is listed as (Healthy, Proimary Partition
My newlly created E: drive is listed as (System, Active, Primary Partition)
Is Windows picking up these boot files on the E: drive on startup for some reason?
I tried copying the Boot directory to the C: drive, but it would not copy two files which said they were being used by the OS.
I also noticed the E: drive was the first partition on the main hard drive, C: was listed second, and D: was listed last.
What options do you think I have?
I have no problem doing a re-install
Thanks for any help you can give
