You just may want to do my trick. I print out the instructions on how to do a clean install and follow them step by step.

And as long as the 2nd drive is disconnected, the computer will NOT boot up.
The instructions tell windows to look for what it needs to boot up are in that 100 MB partition on C:\ drive. And as the 2nd drive is not connected, you get the no boot situation.
And the only way to remove them is follow the steps to remove everything on that drive as listed in the instructions.
