Hey Mike - yes, sorry if I wasn't clear. Yeah - the SSD is the one I
just installed the OS on - to get this baby up & running. But, upon
connecting these Other 2 HD's (traditional - not SSD) - its not booting
right. And, I did go into the BIOS and tell it that I want the SSD to be
the BOOT HD. But, it was still giving me problems. I just disconneted
ONE of those other HD's - before I just read your reply here - and, the
thing attempt to boot - but, then claims it needs to Repair the OS
during the boot process - which I said NO to!
So - still not understanding why its giving me boot problems - but ONLY
when I attached these other 2 HD's!

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-
