Windows 10: Broken Windows on other Drive, tricky situation.

((Drive C (1TB, the one that had the bricked installation,)), Drive D ((500GB(170free) the one I installed Windows on for troubleshooting)) Drive E (the one I'm not using (470GB free))

Hello. I recently updated my Windows to 20H2, but the update was misbehaving, so I used the feature to revert to the previous version, but by doing it, I completely bricked that installation (cmd was of no help, safe mode didn't work, tried every option, was stuck in a Preparing Automatic Repair loop.) Now I installed a Windows 10 installation on my other drive., that I am using to write this.

I'm stuck wondering, if there is any way for me to replace the bricked installation on Drive C, with a working one. Maybe using Macrium Relfect? Please, share any way that you know, that might help me. If I won't find an easy answer, I'll just somehow fit the 1TB contents into the other two drives, delete the bricked installation, install a working one and put the contents back into it.

Any help is appreciated, Thank you.

Maxtor Hard Drive Beep

Maxtor drive beeps

Have a similiar situation using a DiamondMax Plus 8, 20GB Mfg Date 4/15/03. Drive used as a second system drive. Drive is recognized in boot menu but not in drive list. Drive is always connected. Computer started locking up for several seconds at a time. Chkdsk on drives and couldn't find that drive. Removed drive from bay to make sure connections were ok and heard the beeping. Shutdown and restart and never got to windows screen. Restarted several times then saw drive in boot menu and Windows loaded but Maxtor not in drive menu. When recognized in boot menu, computer will start but beeps and is not found.

Tried kicking it real hard but no improvement. Any suggestions?
