    Problem Upgrading - Multiple Drive Issue?


    I may try disconnecting my other internal sata drives as a last ditch try to upgrade ...

    Can anyone shed light on why having more than one drive would cause a issue with the upgrade? You're still booted to the active drive, and updating that one.

    My other two are data storage only (later on I have a couple more 1TB's to add and will run those ina RAID, but not now ...)

    :)

    WINDOWS 10 UPGRADE - ERROR MESSAGE 8007045D-2000C

    I experienced this error multiple times while trying to upgrade a Win7 Ultimate install on an SSD. A Win7 Pro install on a hard drive in the same machine upgraded without issue.

    The problem was due to SSD being incompatible with the Windows 10 upgrade system. The solution was to use Pen Drive Linux's dd utility to image the SSD install to a hard drive, upgrade the imaged install to Windows 10, and then image the upgraded install back
    to the SSD.

    Error 80004005 Windows update for Windows 10

    Best to disconnect other drives before upgrading if at all possible; I did that. I don't see that multiple partitions on a single hard drive are implicated as causing trouble.

    Problem Upgrading - Multiple Drive Issue?

    Its not a question of having more than one drive in the 'puter.

    It is a matter of not having the installation be confused with multiple drive's.

    By merely unplugging the other drive's, this confusion is avoided.

    The only drive which should be connected to the Motherboard when installing an OS is the drive it is going
    to be installed on.
