when to remove

My question is, I am not sure when to remove my old drive?

I ran acronis true image 8 on my computer. I am trying to replace a non system drive with a new drive. when the the computer restarts and shows the message acronis complete it loads into windows and asks to restart in order for changes to take effect.

Re: when to remove - PLEASE HELP ME

I have a 12 gb system pm drive, a 80 gb program files slave drive and a new SATA 200 gb cs drive in my computer. I am trying to replace the 80 gb drive with the new SATA 200 gb drive.

Now, when the computer restarts and states acronis is complete, I turned my computer off and disconected the old 80 gb drive restarting the computer freezes on the bios splash screen and will not boot. If I don't remove the old drive the computer boots into windows and asks to reboot in order for changes to take effect.

Should I have removed the old drive after the computer boots into windows and asks to reboot in order for changes to take effect, then shutdown and remove the drive?
