    Issues with SSD and SATA drives


    Hello,I have two issues regarding my two hard drives. One is an HDD with 2 TB and the other is an SSD with 1TB.This is the first time I have had a computer with more than one drive, so when I tried to copy all of my files, programs, user data, etc. over, I went a bit haywire and did a bunch of formatting, cloning, etc. The big issue was copying all data without having to redownload hundreds of programs and without losing my user data, which I've built over time for convenience. Problem 0: A year later, I still have no idea what I did or what I was supposed to do if

    SATA HDD recognised as SSD

    Hi. My SATA HDD is recognised as a SSD and Windows 10 will not perform defragmentation on it as a result; which I appreciate. I've tried many of the prescribed procedures mentioned on forums but to no effect. I'm pretty convinced that the problem lies
    in the fact I have installed a SSD in my machine. Windows is recognising the correct size of my SATA HDD however and the SSD isn't showing up quite rightly as its Linux formatted. Using a third party defragmentation program exactly the same problem occurs,
    however I was able to defragment my C drive using it as it just warned against it and didn't prohibit me. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Issues with SSD and SATA drives

    SATA HDD recognised as SSD

    Just occurred to me. Could it be that the primary boot drive is the Linux SSD. I've got a feeling this could

    be the problem. I'm not sure how to configure Windows 10 to boot from the SATA HDD. I will try reinstalling the drivers and look into the BIOS but would appreciate your take on my suggestion.
