  1. CAN'T SEE MY C: DRIVE


    Hi Everyone.

    I'm new to this forum and really hoping someone can help me.


    My situation is as follows:

    1. I had to do a Win10 Update on my office desktop computer.

    2. After the update, I got the "Black Screen!" grrrr!

    I've spent days on google and tried some of the suggestions I found but I still have no success.

    3. I went and bought a USB enclosure, removed my desktop internal drive and put it in the USB case.

    4. I have connected the USB case to my Laptop.

    5. Please note: My Laptop has Win8.1. (Not sure if that's my problem in "not seeing" the "Desktop C: drive???)

    6. I can see my desktop drive.(NB: My desktop drive has 2x partitions.)

    * First partition is for the OS/Apps etc. (C: Drive).

    * The 2nd partition is for storage.


    PROBLEM:

    I can see the 2nd partition(storage), but can NOT see the "first" partition.(C: drive).


    C: DRIVE

    How do I make the "first partition(C: drive)" visible?


    AIM:
    I need to save:
    * My Documents,
    * Windows Bookmarks,
    * Desktop Documents etc,

    * and I'm sure I'll see other stuff on my C: Drive, I need to save before I reinstall windows.

    Please help. Thanking you in advance.


    Lani.

    :)

    Installing an SSD drive on my desktop to use as the C bootup drive


    What are you talking about, I have Samsung 830 for 5 years and its still running great there is no issue with NTFS and SSD

    To the OP all you have to do is use Macrium Reflect to clone your disk to your SSD you'll have to option to shrink your C partition before you start the actual clone check out this video
    it walks you through step by step
