Odd system files located on the second HDD...

This is kinda an odd thing that happened to me...
I noticed that some system files (2 folders named "System" and "System64") are locateed on my second drive (2TB Toshiba HDD) although the OS is installed on the M.2 drive (System32, Windows and other folders are located there).
So my question is, can I move them to the M.2 drive, so that OS files would be located on the same drive ? Because at the moment, I can't boot my computer without having the HDD installed.

PC Specs:

• Windows 10 Pro, Build 22H2
  
• Ryzen 3 3300X
  
• GTX 1660 Ti
  
• 16GB DDR4 RAM
  

Storage:

• M.2 Nvme SSD (256GB Adata) - This is the drive where my OS is installed
  
• Toshiba 2TB HDD - This is the drive where those 2 folders are located ("System" and "System64")
  

If additional info is needed ask me, I'm looking forward to solve this problem.

 

HDD in a HDD caddy is not showing up in the disk management

Hi,

To assist you better, I would like to ask some questions:

• How are you connecting the HDD Caddy?
• What is the make and model of your computer?

If you are connecting the device using USB, I suggest you to check if other USB devices are recognized as USB devices or Other device. If it is displaying as other device, then the issue might be with the USB port. So, I suggest you to update the USB drivers
by following the steps below:

• Press Windows key + X, select Device Manager.
• Expand Universal Serial Bus Controller.
• Right click on the drive, select Update Driver Software and follow the on-screen prompts.

Keep us posted on the status for further assistance.
