Windows 10: Drive/Disk not migrated - Windows 10.

Hi, I have just cloned my original adata m.2 500Gb drive to a similar 1Tb drive.

It is booting up, although I am receiving an opening message saying "no media present".

This will time out quickly, then I land on my desktop,

All info is present in file explorer and disk manager.

The drive has labelled itself as Drive 1.

The secondary drive is Drive 0. this is for personal files, data, etc.


So, could this be that the new drive is NOT MIGRATED? as stated in the properties option for the drive within Disk Management window.

If so, how can I migrate the drive. I have checked my secondary drive and it is migrated.


thanks.

Phil.

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK

W7 Hard drive partition issue

to get rid of that 100 meg windows partition that setup creates for you on a new install on a blank hdd:

- press shift+f10 when on the partition management screen in setup <-- this opens a command prompt
- diskpart <-- start the windows command line partition management tool
- list disk <--- list the installed hdds in this computer for the next step
- select disk 0 <- might have to replace 0 with the number of the correct disk
- clean <-- this will erase all data on the disk you selected one step up- dont use the wrong disk!
- create partition primary <- creates a primary partition taking up all space on the drive, adjust the command if necessary
- exit, exit to exit diskpart and the command prompt
- click refresh in partition manager and select your newly created partition and install to that
