OK, so I recently found out that for some reason, my computer will only boot if I go into my bios and tell my computer to boot from my 1.5TB storage drive. The only problem with that is my OS is not installed on that drive, it is installed on a RAID0 drive that is also hooked to the PC. I tried to remove the 1.5TB drive, and replace it with a 2.0TB one, but my windows install will not boot off my RAID0 drive (pair of vertex's) unless the 1.5TB drive is in the machine and set as the boot device.

sorry I know that might be a tad confusing, but I am half falling asleep lol.
 
bump for question

have 5 hard drives in my PC.

The hard drive with windows on it cant/wont boot unless I go into my motherboards bios and tell it to boot from another drive. That other drive if removed from my PC wont allow the drive with windows to boot period.

I want to take the drive out and still boot into windows.
 
This usually happens when you install Windows with more than one drive installed.

It gets confused and puts the boot sector on one drive and the main install on another.

If I were you I'd put my RAID0 Windows drives on channel 1&2, remove all other drives, and try a Repair Install.
