I've reread your post twice and it's not clear...
You have 1 SSD and 2 standard rotating HDs in the system?
The SSD has ONLY Win 7 installed on it, while "other" OSs are installed
on the two mechanical HDs?
The BIOS of the Mainboard will, typically, allow you to choose which HD
to boot from. If you have 1 or 100 HDs installed in a system, only one
will be the boot disc. The others may, or may not, be accessible as file
storage devices (probably as drives E, F, G, H, and so on), depending on
their file storage formatting. But the second and subsequent drives
won't interfere with the booting from the "chosen" drive in the BIOS.
If they are (interfering) then you should be able to simply disconnect
them and the SSD should boot fine.

OK - so, I got Win7 installed - and I am rockin' & rollin'. But, now I
have a new issue...
The main HD is an SSD. And, now, I'm trying to get some other older
HD's running on the system - there are 2 of them - and they are SATA
drives. But, now - when it tries to boot up - seems there must be some
kinda Clash - as the OS claims to try to be starting up - and those
colorful swirling dots appear - but, like only 3 appear - and they
start to swirl - and then they just HALT & sit there! WTF?!?
Seems to me that maybe there is some kinda Clashing between the SATA
Drives. I'm NO HW expert - and I will admit that up front! So - I
don't really know exactly why it won't boot now.
Any suggestions???
TIA,
-K-
