PC wont boot with non OS disc missing?



  Cupra
I have six internal drives in my PC, and need to swap one (F: 1TB) for a 2TB one. I have already copied the files over to the 2nd disk using an external E-SATA case but the PC will not boot without F: being plugged in. I have to same with a couple of the others too.

Configuration:

C:/ Primary Windows on a SSD
D:/ Program data/ Users/ non vital programs
E:/ Music
F:/ Photos
G:/ Downloads
H:/ Video

Running Windows 7.
The Bios boots to C:/.

The message when booting with E,F or G missing is that the Bootmgr is missing. Is there something I am missing in the disk management that means that all disks have to be present?

I'm an idiot and didn't check the boot sequence in the BIOS after unplugging the disk. Apparently it changes by itself, even if the disk was not listed in there before.
All fixed.
