I recently installed win 8 on new clean 1Tb hdd but forgot to firstly disconnect the second 250Gb hdd disk #0, so the OS ended up on disk #1. I then disconnected the 250Gb drive and reinstalled Win 8 on the 1Tb drive. I then checked Disk Management and found, as I thought, that the 1Tb drive was now disk #0.
However, when I reconnected the 250Gb drive and then checked Disk Management again I found that the 1Tb drive had reverted to disk #1 and the 250Gb to disk #0. I would prefer that my 1Tb C:\ drive be disk #0. Could I achieve this by swapping the SATA connections on the HDDs or on the motherboard?
Help appreciated.
