A partition on a USB stick cannot be marked as active.

You selected Volume 9, this isn't the same as selecting a partition.

Try it this way instead, using the appropriate numbers in place of #:LIST DISK
SELECT DISK #
LIST PARTITION
SELECT PARTITION #
ACTIVE

 

A partition on a USB stick cannot be marked as active.

Code:

Does anyone know why partition 1 cannot be selected? I want to mark it as active.
The partitions on other devices can be selected as usual.
Partition 1 is shown as "Healthy" on Disk Management, but "Mark Partition as Active" is greyed out"

 

Why is this partition marked as active despite not having the currently running windows on it?

My old HDR has not only been running full - reaching it's maximum of 500~ GB, but it's also been running through a lot of time. This HDD is very very old and has been running poorly.

So, to upgrade, I decided to treat myself to a new 1TB HDD.

I wanted to keep my old files though and still use my old HDD to store photos and the like, given while slow, it was still running just fine. Perfect to store some files that are on the "might wanna keep/very rarely used" pile.

Either way... my plan was to:
- Install Windows 10 on the new HDD, boot the PC from there and then essentially slowly migrate the files I need from the old HDD.
- Once I am done, format the old HDD and use it as storage.

I turned the PC off, removed the old HDD given in the past I had a lot of issues trying to install windows 10 on a PC that had multiple HDDs attached to it, put in the new one and installed windows 10 on it. No issues. After putting the old one back in again and peeking into Disk Management, I however catch that despite the current HDD being marked as C: and having System,Boot,Page File,Active,Crash Dump etc. on it alongside of the Windows Logo next to it on "This PC" - the old HDD is marked as Active aswell!

Questions:

• Why is the old HDD marked as Active? I thought Active meant that windows was running on it, but all signs point to the Windows of the new HDD currently running, especially the new HDD being marked as active, too...
  
• Is this even a problem in the first place?
  

Thank you in advance!
