  1. Restore User Profile and Windows Settings from previously primary now secondary internal SSD


    Greetings,I am in dire need of help to recover my settings and I will be forever grateful to anyone that can help me.Background information about what caused my problem:Yesterday as I was trying to enable secure boot I've realized that I had System Reserved Partition on my 250GB SSD then lettered Drive X although I was using my Computer and all Programs on my 1TB M2 SSD. The reason for that I assume was when I build my current PC anew with new parts, I moved the system from SSD to M2 SSD around 2021. I used a 3rd Party Partition Wizard AOMEI to achieve that. I tried to fix it with anot

  2. Prompt For Bitlocker Recovery Key For Secondary Internal HDD After Reboot

    Have rebooted my laptop (Dell G7) and drive D: (secondary) was not accessible until the Bitlocker Recovery Key was entered.

    It appears to be treating this drive as external with a Drive Type of "SDV" and not internal. As in the manage this device section the secondary drive is not listed and only the primary drive C: is listed.

    How do make this drive internal?

    Windows Update Breaks Connection to Secondary Internal SSD

    Frequently running Windows Update will cause my secondary internal SSD to be uninstalled and not visible to Device Manager... or any other software. Sometimes an ordinary re-boot will solve the problem. Other times the latest update must be backed out to correct the problem. This breakage has happened at least 3 times this year.
    When Windows Update causes this problem, nothing can access the SSD. It cannot even be uninstalled, because it doesn't show up in the device list. When corrected, the drive is recognized as usual.
    The problem has always been resolved without opening the computer box.
    Drive: Internal Crucial (Micron) M500 SSD.
    All indications show the drivers are current. The current driver is Microsoft 6/21/2006 version 10.0.19041.789
    Windows 10.0.19042 Build 19042
    Dell XPS 8940 Desktop Computer
    Here is how System Information describes the secondary SSD

    Computer Management-Upgraded Internal Secondary Hard Drive

    I have a Dell XPS-17 L702X laptop running Windows 10 Pro x64. I upgraded my 500GB internal secondary drive to a 1TB drive. I did not do a quick format of this new 1TB but rather did the full, longer format. The new, upgraded 1TB secondary drive was made active and assigned the drive letter D, which is the same drive letter as the original 500GB internal secondary drive. I don't have any problems accessing this new 1TB Drive D but I notice a problem with the drive listings in Computer Management.

    I know that Drive C is the OS drive and is marked Disk 0 and that my internal secondary Drive D should be marked as Disk 1. However, the internal secondary drive is listed twice, once as Disk 1 partition 1 (Simple-Basic-Raw-Formatting) and also as New Volume D (Simple-Basic-NTFS-Healthy Active Primary Partition). I think I made a mistake during the initial formatting when I chose quick format and then cancelled the operation, instead selecting the full format.

    I believe that my new, internal secondary drive should be marked in Computer Management as Disk 1 partition 1 (Simple-Basic-NTFS-Healthy Active Primary Partition). How do I remove the extra listing "Disk 1 partition 1 (Simple-Basic-Raw-Formatting), which is the third listing down from the top? I don't know why is still shows as "Formatting" because when I attempt to cancel this listing it tells me that it is already formatted.

    I have attached a screenshot of my Computer Management window. You can disregard "New Volume F" as this is an external 1TB drive that I use as a backup for my Drive D and also to store a redundant copy of an Acronis full backup of Drive C. I am currently transferring the information from my old 500 GB Secondary Drive D which I had previously copied to New Volume F, from the New Volume F drive to my new 1TBSecondary Drive D, the one listed as New Volume D (Simple-Basic-NTFS-Healthy Active Primary Partition).

    How do I remove the extra listing "Disk 1 partition 1 (Simple-Basic-Raw-Formatting) and if I remove it will the listing now shown as New Volume D (Simple-Basic-NTFS-Healthy Active Primary Partition) be relisted as Disk 1 partition 1 (Simple-Basic-NTFS-Healthy Active Primary Partition) or will it still be listed as New Volume D (Simple-Basic-NTFS-Healthy Active Primary Partition)? I can't find any way to delete "Disk 1 partition 1 (Simple-Basic-Raw-Formatting)" and I don't know if I will cause problems by deleting it. In any event, I have an extra drive listing in Computer Management that should not be there.

    I have also attached a screenshot of how these drives are listed on my computer under "This PC" in the Start Menu. I could be wrong, but I believe that my internal secondary drive should be listed as Local Disk D.

    Thank you in advance for your time and assistance.
