So, I just built a new computer and I put it all together and installed windows on my Sata III SSD Hard drive. After installation I noticed I accidentally put my other hard drive (Sata II 2TB Hard Drive) in the sata 3 slot also along with the other. Now I have a problem where it doesn't show my 2TB as a hard drive in my computer. I go to computer management and then Disk Management and it shows my 2TB hard drive but it is not assigned a Drive letter and it says System Reserved 1863.01GB NTFS Healthy (System, Active, Primary Partion) IT will not let me delete the drive and reinstall it or I can't format it or partion it or anything. My question is how do I get it removed from reserved so I can use it as a normal hard drive. Also, a second problem I have is after the installation of windows I turned the computer off and moved the 2TB hard drive that was accidentally plugged into Sata III to Sata II and when the computer was turned on and loading windows it came up with an error saying somethin to the effect of cannot find boot manager. please press control+alt+delete to restart. Problem is when this happens my keyboard or nothing else works so I have to hard restart the computer... before that message comes up when its showing the motherboard screen I can go into bios and setup.. I change the Primary boot as the SSD drive (which windows is installed to) and it still doesnt load windows. the only way I could get it to reload into windows is if I have my windows 7 PRO CD in the CD-ROM or if the primary boot was A: which is floppy (no floppy drive installed in my computer.) How do I fix these as I am new to Windows 7.

-Thanks in advance!
