Barton Posted May 13, 2016 Report Share Posted May 13, 2016 Been AWOL for a bit because I caught a virus and had to reinstall windows. Decided to reinstall it to my SSD instead of my HDD so it would boot faster and all that. Backed everything up and found I couldn't format my HDD from the windows installed on my SSD and I couldn't do it from the windows installed on my HDD because it was using the information on it. After a bit I got it worked out and managed to format my HDD but for whatever reason when I boot up my computer is still detecting the windows on my HDD (which isn't there). Anyone know how to get rid of this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moxy Posted May 13, 2016 Report Share Posted May 13, 2016 Hey Barton Could be...Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Administrative Tools\storage\diskmangement Check n see, if the old OS hdd is has an active "system reserve". Mox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barton Posted May 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2016 Might be my SSD. I disabled the HDD and it still came up. Then I completely disconnected it and it (2 windows) still came up. I did have an installation of windows on my SSD that I thought I overwrote because it was never identified but I guess it's ghost is running around in my PC. Now when I put the windows disk in it won't even load. This crap is getting old, fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Butzzell Posted May 13, 2016 Report Share Posted May 13, 2016 Ya I had a minor problem going to SSD. There is a label or category you have to give the disk. I keep thinking MSG or something. Otherwise the system does not recognize it. Moxy knows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barton Posted May 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2016 I know you have to set BIOS to AHCI or it won't recognize them at all. I love SSDs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
