I have 3 hard drives in my computer and I can not figure out how to distinguish which physical hard drive in my computer represents the drive letter. When I am in the BIOS I can see the hard drive names; Samsung, Hitachi, blah but when I am in Windows I do not know which hard drive that Windows is running on. I would like to figure out how to find this out because I am reformatting all of them and then running speed tests to see which one is the fastest. Then I will install Windows on the fastest and Linux on the second fastest. This brings me to my second question how do I set it so when I boot up the BIOS asks if I want to boot into Linux or windows? Other notes I can not trace the SATA port number to the physical hard drive because the cables are a mess.
1Probably shouldn't be reformatting and reinstalling OSes if you can't figure out which drive is which. – Brad Patton – 2013-03-09T03:23:59.883
The Disk Management consoles might help, or right-click on your C: drive and go to Hardware... – cp2141 – 2013-03-09T03:49:32.263
