Yes, the second drive is now removed.
I disabled it in Windows, using the System Device Manager, found in the Control
Panel. You can right-click on either hard drive and it gives the properties of
that drive, including the option to enable/disable, etc.
My reason for doing this in the first place was that the second hard drive is
new and for some reason Windows doesn't fully detect it (it can be found in the
BIOS and is listed under the System Devices, but is completely invisible
otherwise). So... I was trying everthing to get it to work, including using
the Windows Troublshoot Wizard (which was useless), disabling, enabling,
rebooting. After I apparently disabled it (which may mistakenly have been the
C drive and not D) and rebooted, that's when I got a "corrupt C:/winnt/system
error" and Windows no longer booted.

Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
