  1. Windows Doesn't Start When A HDD is Unplugged


    Hi,

    i have Windows 10 Enterprise Installed on a ssd

    one of my HDD hard drives is kind of broken and makes my pc lag a lot so i tried unplugging it to fix the problem

    anfter i unplugged it my pc wouldn't start and i would get an error about booting i don't remember the title of error i searched a little and i realized that my boot files are installed on that hard drive, and not on the ssd that the windows is installed onbecause it wouldn't boot without the other hdd

    how did that even happen ?

    how can i fix it ?

    is there anyway to move the boot files to ssd and remove them from hdd ?

    or can i repair ssd so it would install the boot files on it ?

    :)

    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?

    Thanks for your answer, ken!
    I deleted all my data. I had have it backed up.

    I did a clean installation using the windows media creation tool (usb option).

    No, I didn`t. I thought a clean installation would solve the problem.

    After posting my previous message, I did it.

    After chkdsk, I close cmd and tried to boot and the laptop just turned it off. This morning I`ve restarted it and automatically windows did a repair. Windows has booted and it seems that the repair tool has removed chrome and acrobat pdf reader (the only two programs I had installed after reinstalling windows).

    Now Windows is installing updates and restarting my lapop, I`m kind of frightened. I don`t want it to happen again. Anyhow, I want to know what has brought the issue

    I`ve been looking for information about the error code at the end of the picture and I didn`t get anywhere.
