I think the problem may be an SSD driver issue. This time I went to "Command Line" choice on the "Windows ran into a problem ... error correction" page and did a "chkdsk C:/r". This actually worked, leading me to believe there was a conflicting driver problem between the two SSDs. I will now...

Mike, I could not do this because here is the bad news. I had been running from Windows 10 with the Windows 8 SSD disconnected from the SATA bus. I got brave with the information I received here, plugged in both and changed my boot drive to the Windows 8 system. It booted to Windows 8 just...

I have to leave for a while to meet my wife and mother-in-law and watch the Cardinals game. I will check in later. Thanks!

It MAY be that there is an active partition on the 1Tb drive because I use this for "file backup". It has no system on it.

No, I just built each system (8.1 and 10) separately with the other disk not connected (so one disk at a time), then connected both. Luckily, in spite of the "scanning and repairing drive (D:):", the one with Windows 10 on it, when I booted Windows 8.1, Windows 10 booted up just fine. Attached...

I took a photo of it. Click on the file to view it. Thanks, and see the note above!

Well, it had been a few days since I booted Windows 8.1 and there were 3 updates to apply, after which a restart. During the restart I got the message "scanning and repairing disk (D:):", the one with Windows 10 on it. Here we go again, another weeks work ahead of me! I'm still updating...

Here (I think) is a picture of the Dist Management screen. After everyone feeling fairly certain there is no problem is have both system disks attached at the same time, I now have both. Disk C is Windows 8.1 (on a 256gb SSD) and Disk D is Windows 10 (120gb SSD, build 10074). I also have a 1Tb...

I don't know how to take a picture of the disk management screen

This I have done. What I fear is that, while the boot block is protected on the system disk (the one booted from), the boot block on the other disk (with the 2rd system) may just appear as a regular partition and may be written into as the operating system maintains efficient disk space (by...

Yes, I change the devices in the EFI. I do not know how to change the boot device without going into EFI Bios, which is what I do to select the boot device and thus the operating system I'm booting into. Sorry I did not make that clear from the outset but that's the only way I know of to...

I had a freshly installed Windows 8.1 system on one drive. I unplugged that drive and did a fresh install of Windows 10 on a separate drive. I select which system I want to boot up by selecting the boot drive in the bios. Most of the time everything is fine but maybe one time in 10 I will get...

I have 2 SSDs with Windows 8.1 on one. I unplugged this disk and installed Windows 10 on the other SSD. I wanted to plug both in and select the boot disk in Bios so I could boot either windows 8.1 or Windows 10. It works great MOST OF THE TIME. However, I occasionally get the message "no...
