Hi

Yes, the Vertex with Win7 on the C drive is on the second chanel, while the partitioned D+E drive is on the first chanel.

So, I should just set the E drive as the active partition and set the PC to boot from HDD1 rather than HDD2?? I tried that I guess already, though E may not have been the active partition?

Uppon installation of Win7 I did notice that the C drive was not set as being an active partition. I changed that hoping that it would solve the boot issue.
