    2nd Windows Install corrupts 1st?


    This has happened to me more than once. I have an NVMe drive (1TB) and an SSD (500GB EVO 860). The NVMe is the main drive and a clean install of Windows 10 is all set up on it and it worked fine.

    I booted to a Windows 10 installation media (USB) and installed Windows 10 on the second drive (the SSD) and got it all set up and working wonderfully. Now any attempt to boot to the first drive (the NVMe) results in me indicates there is no valid Windows installation on it. It will still boot to the SSD. Both were installed in the last week—neither has been activated. msconfig doesn't show the NMVe. My BIOS is set so that it only knows about the NVMe.

    Anyone know why this happens?
    How do I make them both bootable (especially my main NVMe that the startup sequence does not see a Windows 10 install on it)?

    My motherboard is an ASUS Prime X570-P with the latest BIOS. An AMD Ryzen 5 3600 is in it along with 16 GB of RAM.

    :)

    Windows Installer Corrupted

    Hey, well a couple days ago I installed "Microsoft Update" over Windows Update, and WOW is that a great app, not only can it not update anything, but it corrupted my Windows Installer. Well since Windows XP knows better than me, I redownloaded Windows Installer 3.0 redistributable, and SWEET, Windows says "it's older than the current version, no update is necessary" and not only necessary but not possible to install. SOOOO should I reinstall SP2 or what? This is crazy. Thanks for the help
