Computer management

[shadowfox]

Hey guys I have a problem with what I have seen in computer management
I have 2 hard disk
Hitachi 80gb with drive letter C/E/F
Seagates 500gb with drive letter D/F/G/I/T

in the attachment I have taken a printscreen image of what was displayed in computer management
In drive D the status is shown as healthy also it shows system in brackets
can you tell me what the System stands for. the Operating system is installed in C drive
there are no system softwares or other software installed in that drive
and also I cannot change the drive letter because of it

is the 500gb an external hdd?

 

[shadowfox]

no its not
its an internal 500gb hard disk
both the Hard disk are Sata 2 enabled

I did not understand your message

Please provide the motherboard data (make and model and revision if a/v) if a u-build or make/model of comp if a shop-built.

edit: While you are busy gathering that data, I will mention that I find disk management can list a drive as either;

healthy(system)--------has OS on it (AND Boot files if no other has it AND page file if no other has it}

healthy(boot)----------has boot files (AND page file if no other has it)

healthy(page file)-----has a page file (may NOT be the only one)

So, it would appear that during your reworking of OS installs you got the boot files on C: and the OS on D:.

Indeed, you may have an OS on C: BUT the boot.ini thinks that it is the one on D:.

Confused enough?

An example of another with the same issue; http://74.125.95.132/search?q=cache...+healthy(page+file)&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=30&gl=ca

Guess your right
some system files in .txt format are in the D folder and as you know D:/ happens to be the other sceond hard disk
my computer often gets confused when it comes to drive letters
