    Unable to boot into windows 10 after removing bootable partition


    Due to a previous unrelated problem, I had cloned my primary SSD onto another of the same size 1tb. I then wiped my primary drive and reinstalled windows 10 onto it. After copying files across from my secondary SSD to my primary, I eventually got around to wiping my secondary SSD to return it, because I no longer needed it. After wiping it and all it's partitions I continued using my PC for a while before turning it off. The next day, my PC did not boot, and couldn't find any bootable drives.From my limited understanding I believe my secondary SSD which I have now physically removed was wh

    Multi-bootable USB

    Hey guys from TPU, couldn't find any specific thread pertaining to the question asked on title. As mentioned, I'm trying to create a bootable USB, but with many specifics boots available.

    I've been trying to create one with multiple boot device including one that enables me to run Windows 10 directly on the USB Thumb Drive but to no avail.

    The list of bootable images i'm trying to create are

    1. Windows 10 (A full OS running from thumb drive)
    2. Windows 10 ISO (Bootable disk image for fresh install)
    3. MemTest86+

    Have tried YUMI or UUI from the website USB PenDrive Linux but as this is my first time, i don't know how am i screwing up or am doing it right.. Anyone got a rough idea on a step by step guide? Thanks!

    Unable to boot into windows 10 after removing bootable partition

    Due to a previous unrelated problem, I had cloned my primary SSD onto another of the same size (1tb). I then wiped my primary drive and reinstalled windows 10 onto it. After copying files across from my secondary SSD to my primary, I eventually got around to wiping my secondary SSD to return it, because I no longer needed it. After wiping it and all it's partitions I continued using my PC for a while before turning it off. The next day, my PC did not boot, and couldn't find any bootable drives.

    From my limited understanding I believe my secondary SSD (which I have now physically removed) was what my windows installation was booting from. I believe, or would like to think, that I still have the windows installation with all my files and apps on my primary SSD, as after completely wiping the secondary one last night my PC continued to run fine, as I mentioned.

    Is there any way to fix this and have my PC boot from my SSD without removing or deleting all my current apps and files?

    Other info:

    - bootrec /scanos shows there is 1 windows installation (C: drive), but if scanos also scans the bootable installation media then there is no windows installation on my SSD

    - bootrec /rebuildbcd shows this:
    Successfully scanned Windows installations: 1
    [1] C:Windows
    Add installation to boot list? Yes(Y)/No(N)/All(A):Y
    The requested system device cannot be found.

    specs:

    windows 10 (hopefully)

    intel i5-12400f (stock cooler)

    2x8gb ddr4 ram

    1tb SSD (WD black sn770)

    750w bronze psu

    B660M DS3H AX DDR4 motherboard

    SUPRIM X 3080 (10gb)

    Unable to boot into windows 10 after removing bootable partition

    Boot windows installation within a partition?

    You mean with one hard disk drive, I can put in dozens of partition, including windows 7 setup and windows 8 setup, and if I try to boot it, the computer will read it as another bootable device?
