    Can't access my SDD or HDD in windows settings.


    After going into Settings > System > Storage, the windows settings is unable to bring up either of my drives. If I try to change where new content is saved no drives show up after attempting to select one. This is also preventing me from selecting a drive to install new games when using the xbox app. This problem appeared from seemingly out of nowhere.

    SDD and a HDD windows 10

    I have Windows 10 installed on a 525gb SDD. I have a 1tb HDD that I'm using for my data. I've been reading a lot of conflicting tweaks to use on the SDD. Help!

    1. Should I eliminate the swap on the SDD? I do a have a windows managed swap file on the HDD.

    2. Should I turn off indexing on the SDD?

    3. Should I turn off system restore on the SDD?

    Most of the articles I've been reading have been a couple of years old. I know that the current SDDs are better but do these same tweaks apply now?

    Any info and suggestions are appreciated.

    Thanks

    Can't access my SDD or HDD in windows settings.

    HDD to SDD OS transfer

    I am trying to clone (or even image) my 1TB-HDD to a Kingston 120GB-SDD. Space is not issue as I'm only using 70GB on the HDD. My problem is sector size. My HDD sectors are 512 (not 512e) and the SDD sectors are 4096. I'm also unable to use my system image/backup
    because it is on a HDD with the same sector size (512). I've tried a number of cloning programs, including Macrium Reflect, with no success. Is there a way around this?
