Yes, I understand, but for instance my other PC, it has only 2 drives C
and
D and neither is marked as active, only C drive is marked as System. Will
I
only see Active on systems with more than 2 drives? Since this PC has 2
identical OS's on it(one on Drive C and the other on Drive F), I do not
know
which it is operating from, so could I safely clean off Drive F? This is
the
same PC I installed the large drive into and all of a sudden was being
asked
to reactivate, so I took it out and wired it for a slave. Would that have
affected the settings? Just for information the boot order is set to IDE
CD-ROM, Diskette(A),USB Device,Hard Drive(C),Compaq Ethernet Controller.
In
that order.

In Disk Management, you won't see Active on the boot drive you will see
System. That means it's the Active System drive. You will only see Active on
a primary partition of a second drive that is set to Active and is able to
be booted from.
