You honestly didn't think I chose the right drive when installing windows? Wow, thanks for the confidence. What has happened was I forgot to make my new harddrive first priority in the BIOS, then when I installed windows on it, it put the bootmgr on the first drive (the old one).
i've created a windows repair disc, going to remove my old harddrive and run the repairs so I can boot off the new drive alone and then reinsert the old hard drive to be used for storage.
thanks for the help digip, and thanks for not just assuming i'm a retard like Sparda and Mr Protocol.
