[QUOTE="rasmasyean, post: 551101, member: 50625"] How exactly does this work? In the past I installed Windows 8.1 with Windows 7 on an old HD. I forgot exactly what I did, but it turned into a multi-boot prompting startup. Then I found out later on when I removed one of the HD's, it can no longer boot. Recently, I did a Windows 8.1 with another Windows 8.1 on the first HD and it had the mutli-boot thing. So I reinstalled it with the old HD removed. So when I boot the new HD with the old HD reconnected, it works as intended. When I boot the old HD, it gives me THREE Windows 8.1 options to select. How did this happen, as I didn't even have the old HD connected when I installed the OS. Does it detect a new OS and modify itself while you're booting it? Is there a way to correct it? i.e. turn it into a single-boot HD? [/QUOTE]
