    How to fix system and boot partitions on separate drives?


    Hi, I was following a YouTube guide on moving everything to a new SSD everything being basically just windows and I ran into a problem. I was using MiniTool partition wizard, the tool restarted the PC but about 4 hours later I still had a black screen with white writing saying 0%. I looked up what to do and it was recommended to turn on and off the PC so I did. Now it seems that my files/partitions, not sure, are messed up. My system partition is on a different drive to my boot so I cannot actually attempt to repeat my original steps and I am afraid to try and copy then delete the partition
