Windows 7 installed on two drives
In attempting to fix a problem caused by transferring data from one computer to another, I inadvertently reinstalled Windows 7 on Drive D. Now I have it on Drive C and Drive D. Is there a way to get it off Drive D?

Hi, After deleting the system files from Drive D, you need to modify the BCD store to remove the boot entry for the operating system on Drive D. Run the following command with elevated administrator privilege: BCDEDIT /EXPORT C:\BCDStore.bak Copy the file to a removable disk as a backup. BCDEDIT /ENUM List the boot entries in this store. BCDEDIT /DEFAULT {GUID} Replace "{GUID}" with the GUID of the actual entry that you want to start default. Set the boot entry as the default one. BCDEDIT /DELETE {GUID} Replace "{GUID}" with the GUID of the actual entry for the operating system on Drive D that you want to delete. For more information, please read BCDEdit Command-Line Options.

Thank you for your help. I did not need to try this because what I thought was a 2nd copy of Windows 7 was really the system recovery on a separate partition. Thank you again. I really appreciate it and hopefully this will be of help to someone else.
