On a laptop with two hard disks, I want to move the Windows OS from one (C:) to the other (D:). So far I could clone it on the destination drive, and looking at the directory trees of the original and the copy, they look identical.
However I can only boot the original Windows. When I try to boot the clone (pressing F12 before the boot and selecting the corresponding drive), nothing happens: I get a blank screen and then it goes back to boot from the default drive.
How can I select a specific Windows to launch during boot?
Since my intention is to install Linux on the first drive, will it be possible to start the Windows that now I cannot launch through Grub?

You do not need to install Linux and grub on the first disk. Usually you can change the order in which the computer searches the OS from the BIOS. MoreoverC:andD:are logical name that exist only inside windows. Even if you put windows on your second physical drive it will probably be alwaysC:.

@Hastur - I still want the first disk to boot by default. But I need to be able to boot Windows from the second disk, too.

Many times you can do directly from bios (when you boot you can use a combination of keys that depends from your computer model).
