Okay, remove the data drive, giving the system only one drive to install the OS on. After installing the OS, reinstall the data drive, make sure you've got the drive with the OS on it set as "master" and the data drive set as "slave."

I can do that. Will I lose my apps when I do that? What diff does it make, removing the secondary? I can select the primary for the install where I am now.

Thanks for ALL suggestions. I want to make my best move and not take it to the shop.
