Ha, ya windows has been rather unkind yo me. Just really strange how it worked fine initially and then began to act up. Looks like hot swap bay it is. Thanks for the help.

Looks like win 8 is installed as legacy.

How might I be able to tell if it is UEFI installed?

Hey everyone, First off, this is my first posting here, watch the youtube channel all the time though. I have a question about my BIOS and booting using multiple drives each with a different operating system. I currently have 3 hard drives in my computer. 1 HDD with Windows Vista, 1 SSD with Windows 8, and 1 HDD as storage. I would like to use the Windows 8 SSD and the Storage HDD together, and the Vista HDD as a standalone. I want to be able to switch which drive I boot from, as I have important things on my Vista and want to keep that drive in case I need it. I have been able to switch between the two drives through the BIOS, however, when I do it tells me that my disks need to be checked for errors and performs disk cleanup. After switching back and forth a couple of times, things get very wacky. My only solution has been to unplug the the Vista HDD when I want to use Windows 8 SSD/Storage HDD, and unplug the Windows 8 SSD/Storage HDD when I want to use Vista HDD. While this works, it is annoying to open my case and unplug stuff ever time I wish to switch where I boot from. Additionally, when I unplug the Vista HDD to use the Windows 8 SSD/Storage HDD, my BIOS tries to boot from the Storage HDD which, obviously, doesn't have an OS and I end up needing to go into the BIOS anyways to tell it to boot from the Windows 8 SSD. This happens regardless of which SATA port I connect the Windows SSD to on the motherboard. It always tries to boot from the Storage HDD. Any thoughts here or am I just going to have to live with this as is?
