The one program you need to move boot information to your primary drive is EasyBCD which is available free for personal use from the developer website. If you prefer to use a different program, check out our list of backup programs for Windows.
#EASY TO BOOT ON PARTITION FULL#
It is free for personal use and can backup the full partitions. This problem shows itself most often in cases of dual booting Linux along with another. By putting the /boot partition at the beginning of the drive you can be assured of not having a problem when accessing the kernel at boot. A program you can use for that purpose is DriveImage XML. Some versions of the Linux boot loaders cannot access a kernel that is outside the first 1024 cylinders on a disk. As always, it is suggested to create a backup of your drive before you start. Note that you should not do that if you are using Bitlocker encryption or any other software that is using the system reserved partition. Instead of creating a system reserved partition on the main hard drive and moving the data of the original system reserved partition to it, it is possible to simply move the boot loader from the system reserved partition to the drive the operating system is installed on. Since I do not really need that second SSD anymore I decided to find a way to move the System Reserved partition from that drive to my new SSD instead so that it would boot just fine without the second drive.Īfter fiddling around with it for a while I stumbled upon a solution that it probably the easiest option to move the boot information of the system to the hard drive the system is installed on. Any attempt to disconnect the drive from the system resulted in boot errors due to missing boot information. One of the SSDs contains the Windows 7 operating system, the other nothing of importance anymore but the System Reserved partition.
I have two Solid State Drives and one platter-based drive connected to my PC.
