Windows 10: Error when booting after secondary drive wipe

I recently bought an SSD and installed windows on it.

my old windows was still installed on my old hard drive.


after finishing up installations and such I formatted the drive via gparted, but now I get the error 0xc0000225 unable to find the file windows\system32\winload.exe,

while I installed windows on my SSD.

Also the recovery mode on the install disc I used to install on my SSD isn't able to fix the problem.


And it would be horrible to have to reset all files that are already installed on the SSD.

Wiped Hard Drive Can't Boot Vista

I did try every possible boot order and even with deactivated options, which I don't even know how or if that is helpful. I will try the Vista possibilities. The OS was listed in the BIOS, whatever that means, and it said it was a factory version, which I think is a good thing.

The PXE error messages may have occurred when I activated the network adapter and tried that in the boot order. Obviously, I am in way over my head. Thanks for the suggestions!

 

Win 10 won't boot, if I disconnect secondary drive(s)

1. Download: Macrium Rescue ISO 6.1.1000 and use: Rufus - Create bootable USB to create a USB Boot.
2. Disconnect Disk 1 from your PC
3. Boot up your PC using the USB in step 1
4. Follow the screen shot to fix Windows Boot

 

System restore and secondary drives


So my setup. I have 2 drives in my computer an SSD and HDD. The SSD came shipped with my computer and I installed the HDD as a secondary drive. I've been using it as storage for all my pictures music etc. I've also installed a couple programs on there. My question is if I do a system restore can I do it without wiping out the secondary drive? How would I go about doing it? Step by step. What would happen to the program's installed on there after the restore?

Thank you.
