This question is strongly related to this one. I experience the same problem. Unfortunately the proposed solution of removing the SSD disc (disc1) via disc manager gives the following error: "Cannot delete an active system partition" Which is weird, because I bought a new laptop, without an operating system and installed windows 7 on the HDD drive (which on the disc manager is disc0). Does anybody know how to resolve this?

I would add a picture of the disc manager, but I can't (lack of reputation).

I figured out what caused the problem in the first place. The boot order during installation (form USB) was set as follows.

  • USB Disc
  • mSATA SSD
  • Local Hard Drive
  • ... (other)

Which apparently caused the system to install boot.ini on the SSD regardless which disc I chose to install the system on. I changed the boot order to:

  • USB Disc
  • Local Hard Drive
  • ...

and did a fresh install, during which I removed the SSD disc (not physically of course, but in the installation menu).

I hope this helps someone some day.
