Hello All,
Here is the rundown:
1. Installed Windows 7 on a new 90GB Agility 2 SSD.
2. Shutdown Computer
3. Disconnected old HDD (HDD1), which contained a previous Windows 7 Install.
4. Connected a another HDD (HDD2) which was a storage drive when I had Windows 7 Installed on HDD1.
5. Powered on Computer
6. After the BIOS screen I received the message: "Active Partition Not Found - Press Any Key"
7. The Troubleshooting
a. Checked Boot Order
b. Tried every combination of SATA and Power cables between the two drives.
c. Completely Disabled and Unplugged HDD2
e. It kept booting to the CD drive when I unplugged HDD2, even if I removed it from the boot menu. So I unplugged that too. Then I just said "System Disk Not Found.
8. Finally, I plugged the old HDD1 back in and it booted up fine.
9. Please advise.
