I just go a new solid state 240 gig hd. There is currently a 500 gig dual boot W7/mintLinux HD in the computer now. I want to re-install W7 & ML on my new SSHD but leave the other for storage, it already has a lot of files on it id like to keep. When I put the new SSHD in, how to I get the computer to boot up in this new drive while just leaving the other as an extra? There arent currently enough wire to plug both up I'll have to buy some in the next day or so, so I just unplugged the old HD and plugged in the new SS and installed Mint. That's where I'M at right now.
