I've created a Windows 7 x64 system partition image on an empty volume on another drive because the original boot drive was throwing errors and SMART BIOS thinks it is "bad" even though the manufacturer's utility reports it as in good health.



The image is here:



S:imgimagename



Is there a simple way to make S: the boot volume, change its drive letter to C:, and take the original drive offline, without having to copy the image somewhere else? I don't have any free space anywhere to put it, and all the SATA cables are in use.
