    Win10 doesn't really reconize my old drives from win7


    I have built a new pc using my old SSD and HDD, now as the D and E drive, but when I want to delete something on the old drives from the apps & features or from the control panel, nothing from the two old drives are shown. When I filter by disk, it shows "We couldn't find anything to show here. Double check your search criteria.". However, I can access the two drives normally, even playing some games I have downloaded before on steam, which is also not recognized.Or when I check the setting>system>storage, unlike c drive, all the other drives have no apps & features category, mos

    Windows doesn`t start. Authomatic repair doesn`t work.

    Thanks again!!

    I`m sorry I had not noticed that the text on the picture was in spanish. It says that windows has replaced some damaged clusters in "name" file and "directory". Then, at the end "an unspecified error occurred (75736e6a726e6c2e 4f6)".

    I`ll do it and I`ll be updating this thread when I have the report.

    I ran SeaTools. These are the results:

    Does it mean my HDD is useless?

    Win10 clean install on new drive, dual boot w/win7 on old drive. New Win10 drive won't boot

    As per subject line above, I did clean install of Win 10 on new drive. Left Win7 on old drive. All went fine; PC boots as long as old drive is present. Boot option screen appears at boot offering choice of Win10 or 7. Works fine. BUT, when I removed old
    drive with Win7, system won't boot from new drive (CWin10 doesn't really reconize my old drives from win7 :). Apparently Win10 installed boot selection and/or something critical on the OLD drive. The new drive shows the Win10 logo in File Explorer (when old drive is present), and all Win10 files appear to have
    installed correctly on the new disk. But it won't boot by itself - so something is missing. (Yes, I changed the boot sequence order in the bios to look for the new drive.) But bios prompts for a bootable disk, meaning the new C: drive is "not bootable". What
    gives?

    Thanks for any help!!!

  4. Win10 doesn't really reconize my old drives from win7

    Win10 crashed Win7 after drive switch

    I have two drives, one with my old Win7 installation and one with my new Win10 installation. I occasionally used my Win7 installation by disconnecting the Win10 drive and connecting the Win7 drive.

    Then it happened. The computer might have not been completely powered off when I did the drive switch. As far as I remember, a screen popped up, telling me that a problem occured and some data must be stored. Afraid of interrupting the process, I waited
    until this was done. Then I restarted the computer with the Win7 drive still connected.

    It seems to me that Win10 data that resided in RAM corrupted Win7,

    From then on, Win7 does not boot. The "old" progress bar (green dots running from left to right) appears (which it didn't do before) and then the computer is restarted - boot loop.

    I tried the repair function of course, but it tells me it cannot fix the issue. I also manually rebuilt the the bootloader (bootrec.exe /fixmbr etc), but it does not do the job.

    The folders on the Win7 drive can be accessed, so the hard drive is working fine.

    Is there anybody out there who can help me restore my Win7?
