Default Installed Win 7 on another Drive
I recently installed Windows 7 on another drive while running off my Windows XP drive. I want to be able to pull the XP drive out of the computer and have windows boot the Windows 7 Drive only, but I keep getting "NTLDR missing" upon bootup. I want this to be my main OS drive and the other removed. How do I fix this problem?

the easiest way to fix it is to insert your W7 cd in and us the repair option, it usually fixes all start up problems.

I used Easy BCD to install the windows 7 bootloader onto my XP installation. That way, I can boot to almost any OS on multiple hard drive with minimal issues.
