My SSDHD died.Connected old HD and booted.Old drive shows up after booting as removable drive but works normally.Used old drive for a few days until new drive arrived.(today)Installed OS on New drive(this one)and all works well except....the last time this happened both drives showed up before total boot as BOTH bottable and you had to choose which one to boot from.(Dual Boot?).I now have them connected like the last config in SATA 1 and 2 but it boots to new drive and the other just displays as drive D:.What is the trick to having both drives to boot from?It happened by itself last time.Thank you
