C drive as removable drive.

uh.... anyways..... my C: drive IS my boot drive. it is also my OS drive and its Sata. and i dont think the software is written wrong, i tried 2.7 and one of the newest, 3.1 and still the problem persist.

anything else u guys want me to clear up just in case anyone gets confused with the situation? lol

Have you tried motokit or is what you are trying to do something that only works with RSD?

edit: Try this
1) run regedit.exe
2) go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup
3) change BootDir value from D: to C:
4) Run setup now

k i went into bios and played around wit the drive order and stuff and it worked. lol. thanks for the help guys. i remember my Sata drive being my boot drive but when i looked it was placed 2nd and the IDE drive first. i switched those 2 and it works. lol. simple enough.. thanks again guys.

Why did I have this "feeling" to look in the bios? It must be sidetracked by some...

You said nothing of the BIOS.

As I mentioned earlier the installer was designed to install onto an ide type not Sata type drive.

I'm all for giving credit where credit is due but in this instance it's not going to either of us, it goes to M0ddingMan1a.

I wasn't taking credit for anything. After the last few replies I was going to add in the idea to check the bios settings. Someone beat me to the punch line there apparently.
