  1. I reinstalled windows on another hard drive but i do not see it in the BIOS


    I'll try to make this short

    I re-installed W10 on my Adata SSD, it went fine, but i cannot select it in the default boot option in the BIOS, i can only see my current PNY SSD. I could actually see my ADATA SSD before converting it from MSR to GPT because i couldn't install windows without converting it.

    Now whenever i boot into my current PNY SSD it asks me which windows version to run, even when my ADATA SSD isn't plugged, it's like my ADATA SSD is a partition of my PNY SSD, when they're both standalone drives. And when i select the windows version of the adata SSD without plugging it in my PC via SATA, it tells me that files are missing with this error screen

    What i want to be able to do is like i always experienced it, i have my 2 drives with windows on them, and whichever i put into boot priority number 1 in the bios, the windows installed in the n°1 boot priority runs, and i don't have to choose which version to run on every startup

    Anybody can help ? Thanks

    Also check in BIOS whether External Hard Drive is listed or not.

    For help with the BIOS settings, refer to the computer manual or contact the manufacturer.
