Over Here!
I was going to swap out a 500gb drive for a bigger drive, but it seems windows has files on the 500gb drive ( I installed windows 7 64bit on my 120gb SSD)... when i remove the 500gb drive, my computer doesn't recognize an OS, when I plugged the 500gb drive back in, windows loads fine off the SSD.

I couldn't find anything in disk management and google was of little help. Here's a screenshot of disk management...

I need Drive D to be labeled system instead of drive E. Any ideas?

Unplug E:
Restart PC with Windows 7 Install Disk
Repair C:
Reboot when finished.

Here's a link that may also help as well.

Grats on your phatty PC!
