You've already gotten answers to your question, but I'd like to add a
point and a suggestion.
Are you sure it has two drives? With a laptop, it's more likely that
it has *one* drive that's divided into two partitions.
Assuming the latter, your best course of action may be to change it to
a single partition instead of two. You can do that with third-party
software. Partition Magic is the best-known such program, but there
are freeware/shareware alternatives. One such program is BootIt Next
Generation. It's shareware, but comes with a free 30-day trial, so you
should be able to do what you want within that 30 days. I haven't used
it myself (because I've never needed to use *any* such program), but
it comes highly recommended by several other MVPs here.
Whatever software you use, make sure you have a good backup before
beginning. Although there's no reason to expect a problem, things
*can* go wrong.
