Can't remove my HD

Hi everyone,

I have two hard disk in my pc. C and D. A while ago the C drive started making really strange rattling noises and it crashed. Luckily I have most of my data backed up on another computer so no problems there. Since the C drive is now useless I decided to install windows on the D drive, I did that yesterday and so far no problems, I'm running windows from the D drive now.

The problem is my C drive is still making strange noises (even though I'm not accessing it or anything, the drivers are also uninstalled). I opened up my pc and disconnected the C drive from it's power supply. Since I run windows from my D drive now I thought it would not be a problem, but when it is disconnected I almost immediately get a " Disk not found " error when I boot. :S Can anyone tell me how I can disconnect it properly without getting the error? Does it have anything to do with the whole ' primary slave, primary master' thing going on with the different drive in a computer? Please help!

Thanks in million in advance! ;)
