Is it possible that the two are causing collisions in drive assignments, and not allowing it to boot? (My setup machine was not a physical machine, I used a virtual, due to the massively long time it takes to set up over a USB2.0 line, then cloned it to a flash disk.) Is it possible to reassign C:\ to something like G:\ if this is the issue?

Very likely the problem is Windows is expecting G:, but now that you're booting directly, it's on C: instead and is confused...

I once installed Windows to D:, then deleted the C: partition. Thus D: was reassigned to C:. It would constantly blue screen during boot.

I created a tiny placeholder C: partition, reassigned the Windows partition back to D:, and it came right back up.

You might be able to reassign C: to G: with a partitioning tool, but I'm not sure if the reassignment will persist, or if Windows will react nicely.

There's some discussion on the topic here:

The best thing might be to try and reinstall Windows again, ensuring the target drive is C: before the installation starts.
