I have (maybe a stupid) question.
Trying to get AHCI configured, my system crashed during boot process. So I reset my BIOS back to the previous settings, then I get the "ntldr NOT FOUND" error on the boot screen. I ran a live cd version to check the drive and it was there. Then I ran in "Pause" mode during boot to be able to read the info and noticed that the HDD device order had changed. So I unpluged my HDD's in removable trays and got a full bootup, but in the "Disk Management MMC" my hard drive that has my O.S.'s on is seen as "Disk 1" and the hard drive that is a data drive is seen as "Disk 0".
How does this happen and how do rearrange it for correct detection order?
Thanks
