  1. Can't boot into windows after installing new HDD


    After installing a new HDD in my PC as a second drive, I can't boot into windows. I got a HDD as my SSD my main drive is really low on space. I never had this kind of issue, before my PC would boot quite fast. Now it's just stuck on the windows loading screen. Why is this happening and what should I do to fix this issue? I can access BIOS if that will be needed. Windows 10 is still on my SSD so I don't know why my PC is this slow now.

    :)

  4. Can't boot into windows after installing new HDD

    Installing a new HDD to replace a HDD of the same size that failed.

    I have a Windows 10 OS installed on my C: drive. I had data stored on an HDD designated as D: drive. That second drive failed and was replaced by a new HDD. Both are the same size and type of drives, except different manufactures. The new HDD is not
    listed in File Explorer. It is listed in Computer Management under Device Manager as a Disk drive. Disk Management under Storage does not list the new HDD.

    I have tested the new HDD with software downloaded from the manufacture and it has passed all tests. At least that software was able to access the new drive and perform low level tests to see if it is operational.

    Looking at the events log for this HDD, I find an event warning that says "Device ... was not migrated due to partial or ambiguous match." Opening up the properties indicates drivers have been installed. Reading the volume information results in: "Volume
    information for this disk cannot be found"

    I suspect that the problem with the volume information is associated with the warning in the event log. I removed the HDD, restarted the PC then shut it down to start the installation process over again. No change in the event log or status of the new
    HDD. Can anyone suggest how I can get past that warning?
