windows 10 unmountable boot volume

Description

I have an HP Envy 17 that has two disk drives, the original 1TB hard disk, and a second 480GB SSD. I have been running Windows 7 on the SSD with the hard drive as backup.

I just updated the hard disk to Windows 10 which I boot by popping out the SSD (which is in the DVD slot) so that Windows then boots from the second drive.

I want to be able to run Windows 7 normally and use VirtualBox to boot up Windows 10 to run one application which won't run on Windows 7.

I have created a virtual raw disk for Drive 1 and when I attempt to boot it, I get the error message about the boot volume not being mountable. This happens after I get the windows logo and circle for a while.

Anyone have any suggestions how I can get this to work ?
