    The computer came with these two disk drives: 750 GB and 8 GB SSD
    The 8 GB drive may be flash cache.


    The computer is only used to play DVDs on the computer and at times on a TV using a HDMI cable.

    The files on the drive include windows, cyberlink.


    What are inexpensive options to continue using the notebook as a DVD player?
    Does the 8GB SSD / flash cache drive interfere with options?

    Either SSD or HD in the HD bay?

    Windows 10, Occasional Error, No Hard Drive, after Hard Drive Replacement

    Hi,

    System corruption can cause issues detecting your computer's hard drive. For us to properly investigate on your concern, we'd like to confirm the following information:

    • On which cases do you receive the startup error?
    • Aside from replacing the hard drive, have you made any significant changes to your device prior to this happening?
    • Have you tried plugging in the replaced hard drive to another computer to check if the same thing occurs?
    • What troubleshooting steps have you done so far?

    We will be waiting for your reply so we can move forward to resolving your query.

    How to remove a bad drive in Windows 10 storage spaces pool

    Could someone list the steps involved in replacing a bad drive from a Windows 10 storage spaces pool? I cannot find any info on the Microsoft support site that is specific to Windows 10. Also, could you list the steps to remove a 'good' drive and replace
    it with another drive if the process is different?
