I've 2 HDD, 1 green cavier 2TB and 1 Samsung(?) 500GB. My green cavier is falling apart, the hiccup freeze issue is so bad that the HDD is might as well as unusable. I want to take it to the retailer for maintenance, but I noticed that a partition of the green cavier has boot status, which makes the PC unable to boot into windows if removed.
So here's the story: At first, I've 3 partitions, first is the whole Samsung HDD, second is the 150gb partition coming from the green cavier, which is used to house my Windows setup. The last partition is the rest of my green cavier HDD. Now, when I discovered the hiccup freeze issue is caused by my green cavier, I reinstalled my window setup into a new 150gb partition I created with the Samsung HDD, but the old 150gb green still has the boot status while the samsung 150gb had system status. I can't format it nor change the status of the green cavier, so I decided to shrink the partition to a few hundred mb as a temporary fix. After awhile, I got back to this problem. I've searched for a fix on google and the 1st I've tried out is setting my 150gb samsung partition active. I do that, and now the status is reversed, green got system and Samsung got boot, still can't boot with Samsung. Next one, I tried to inactive 2 green cavier partition, leaving only the Samsung active. Still can't boot with Samsung.
Here's the status of my PC: 4 partitions: 1 active 150gb Samsung partition used to house my windows installation, has boot status, 1 partition Samsung used to store my temporary files because green cavier is unusable. 1 active green cavier partition which has no letter, has a few hundread mb and the system status, and a last partition stored my music, movies, games and stuffs which amounted to 1,6 TB.
Now, what I wanted to do is to remove green status completely and let samsung has both boot and system status. I haven't found any solution yet, except for the one that using the install CD, which I've lost. In the first place, mine is windows 8.1, the old windows 8 CD couldn't work on that one, could it?
Sorry if my post is too much of a mess, please ask me question if you don't understand. I'll try to clarify as much as possible within my ability to communicate in english.
