    Windows10 pro 64bit will not recognize 2nd hard disk


    Hi
    I just upgraded my hard disk and connected the old one on second sata port. I checked in the bios and it recognised there, but windows does not find it at all, not in device manager, Disk Management or with the trouble shooter. When I boot up with a "disk repair/rescue utility" it is found and working.
    Any ideas please?
    Thanks

    :)

  2. Windows7 Pro 64bit Drivers are not working in Windows10 Pro 64bit

    I have upgraded to Win7 to Win10 Pro 64bit,have not ever used Windows8.

    So the drivers used in Win7 are not inalling in Win10.

    In compatibility mode there are only 2 OS ,Win7 and Win8.

    But windows10 is not listed.

    What to do,if you say in details,plzz..........

    Running Win10 pro clobbers Win7 hard disk

    Obviously I have to be more detailed about the configuration:

    All my desktops and notebooks have the same configuration:

    4 partitions, named Boot, Application, Data and User Data.

    Step 1: To be able to test Win 10 I made a 1to1 copy of my Win7 hard disk to another hard disk and disabled the original installation. After that I made an update from Win7 Ult to Win8 pro on the copied disk, as mentioned I have three Win8 installion packs
    bought but never used it after testing!

    Step2: Downloading Win 10pro and upgrade the Win8 installation, all this takes time but Win10 worked as expected.

    Step 3: Enable in BIOS hard disk with Win7Ult, reboot win10, 2nd hard disk is correctly recognized and Win10 is working.

    Step 4: Switching off hard disk (already in an switchable environment) with Win10 installation and reboot hard disk with Win7Ult, error message shows up, that the partitions have to bee checked!

    I hope this will clarify the subject

    Regards

    Luigi

  4. Windows10 pro 64bit will not recognize 2nd hard disk

    2nd hard disk not available after installing windows 10

    Your first step must be to check if the disk is visible in the BIOS.
