This isn't a question as to how to fix something, but more of how it happens and why, so I guess there really wouldn't be a set answer, only theories and opinions, but here goes"
Recently, I've had the "NTDLR is missing" problem on my computer, and I went through the various fixes mentioned here and elsewhere about trying to load from a corrupt/missing/etc. hard drive, and they worked (which is why I am able to post here), but what I don't understand is how or why the boot drive in the Bios can change without any manual changes made by me. I am running multiple hard drives on this computer, and it seemed like overnite, the boot hard drive changed from the C drive to another. Through plugging in and unplugging, and restarting the computer, I was able to determine which HD was the C drive, and now all is fine (I also labled the hard drives as to which was which on the hard drive case itself), but I dont understand how the boot drive was replaced with a non-boot drive which gave me the NTDLR error message.
Ya'll's expertise would be greatly appreciated in helping me understand how the boot drive changed without human interference. Thanks in advance. (Like I said, its not a how do I fix question, but more of how does it happen question).
