Hello,
Recently I installed a SSD and was able to use both it and a hard drive simultaneously, with the SSD acting as the boot drive.
Yesterday when I turned on my PC Windows failed to stat and the screen advised to restore Windows, which led tot he loss of my files etc. but also resulted in the hard drive becoming the C: drive, instead of the SSD. Furthermore Windows will not start without the hard drive, even though the SSD is still the boot drive on the motherboard.
I tried to run the Samsung Data Mitigation software, believing Windows was loading from the hard drive now, but it did not detect the operating system on the hard drive. So it appears the operating system needs the hard drive in order to boot from the SSD. I also have restricted access, such as not being able to turn on Memory Integrity or reassign drives, despite being an administrator on the PC.
Can you please advise on a solution?
Kind regards,
