Firstly, let me explain my setup.
I have just installed a new 2TB hard drive, the plan being to test drive windows 10 on one partition of a triple boot with windows 7 & 8. There is a 4th partition named Data. Windows 7 & 8 are installed and both work (when I can get them to boot!). Windows 10 in an empty partition at present.
There are 2 other 1TB drives for data in the system.
Problem is, the 2 1TB data drives Disc 1 & 2, both have bootmgr on them but they should not have. It depends on how I cable the 3 drives as to what choices of operating system I get presented with.
I'm writing this on a clean install of Windows 8.0, but as can be seen from the screenshot of EasyBCD, it shows Windows 8.1 as entry number one. This was on my old hard drive, now removed from the computer.
How can I get just the main drive to be the one to boot (with a choice of operating system) regardless of which cable is plugged into which disk?
