  1. Help please, I can't get my pc to boot after moving my OS to my secondary hard drive to...


    I copied my OS to my bigger secondary drive so I could free up my small ssd for the games I play to help make them maybe a Iittle bit faster and now my pc wont boot. Not even when I take out the ssd and have the hard drive first in the boot order, I've tried everything I can think of with no luck and I wanna pull my hair out now because everything was working just fine before all this

    :)

  2. Windows 10 1909 Causes Secondary Hard Drive to not be Recognized

    Installing the Windows 10 1909 Update causes my secondary hard drive to not be recognized.

    Steps to confirm issue:

    • Secondary drive not visible in Windows Explorer
    • Secondary drive not visible in device manager
    • Secondary drive not visible in disk manager

    Steps to replicate issue:

    • Installing 1909 update

    Steps to resolve issue:

    • Uninstall 1909 update

    Since updates can only be delayed for so long, an actual fix would be appreciated.

    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!
