Solved Can I transfter the System partition?

Greetings!

This is a weak point for me, messing around with disk drives. I want to reformat my 'D' drive which has nothing worth keeping on it. But when I try to Disk Manager tells me it's the system partition. Is there a way to transfer the system partition from D to C?

Here's a screen shot of disk manager:

Windows Boot Loader
-------------------

device partition=C:
path \Windows\system32\winload.exe
description Microsoft Windows Vista
locale en-US
inherit {6efb52bf-1766-41db-a6b3-0ee5eff72bd7}
osdevice partition=C:
systemroot \Windows
resumeobject {69e84abf-83d5-11e0-952e-8756203552cc}
nx OptIn

The windows installation is on the 'C' drive and is working perfectly. I just don't think the system partition belongs on a secondary drive. I may have screwed this up when I got the 1Tb drive last fall and re-installed windows on it. Windows used to be on that 500Gb (D) drive.

Hope you can help! Thanks much!

I solved my problem. In BIOS the boot priority was set like the D drive was when it had the OS on it. I just changed the boot priority and windows fixed the rest! This was my case!
