    Pulled out SSD cable and now windows 10 won't boot


    Due to gross incompetence I unplugged my windows SSD while the pc was running and didn't realise it. I shut down the Pc and then restarted and got hit with the automatic repair loop. I checked the pc and discovered what I had done, ie the unplugging so plugged the drive back in and restarted and still hit with automatic repair screen. Any ideas on how I can fix this?
    Windows 10 Pro 64 bit

    Thank you.

    :)

    windows 10 slow boot

    I was having a slow boot issue on my Windows 7 install a little while back. It would take about 30 - 40 extra seconds to boot up for whatever reason.

    I would try following these steps, while this didn't solve my issue, it did increase Read/Write to where it should be.

    In the end, I had to reinstall my Windows 7 entirely to fix the booting issue. It was taking around 35 seconds to boot, and after the fresh install it takes about 7 seconds to boot.

    My friend's PC won't boot into Windows 10

    It was working last night (he was tinkering with his memory modules and other things), and now, this morning, it won't boot into Windows. He's tried both of his drives (HDD and SSD, it's installed on his SSD), and it still won't boot. He starts his computer,
    and his BIOS presents "No operating has been found.", or something along those lines.

    He tried booting only off his HDD, and it went into recovery. He still must have the recovery partition for his HDD, which he USED to have Windows 10 on.

    Any suggestions on steps we can take?
