A lot of hard drive have software that'll copy everything over automatically, all you have to do is set the drive you want to boot off of as C: and make sure it's in the master slot in your BIOS settings
Preferrably i wont have to blow away the other 3 or so partitions on that secondary drive.... Can i not format /s to one partitiion and not redo the others?
Yeah i'll change it to master (if it isnt cable select? dunno)

@edythemighty Is that all i gotta do to get the other drive "bootable" with a mbr... it was just an extra drive with several partitions

If the Windows system files are there, and it's in the slot you set as master, it should boot from there... should xD
