[QUOTE="Bluetonic, post: 754005, member: 117087"] Hello, I have 2 hard drives each with a Windows installation and always had the option of booting from either drive upon switching the PC on. I recently reinstalled windows on the second drive using Windows Reset function. Since then, windows will only boot from this drive whilst my other drive is the main one I like to use. I've been in the bios and pointed the boot process to the drive I want it to boot from and it doesn't recognise it as a boot drive! I know the windows instalation on the drive is present along with my files and programs as I can browse them when I boot windows from the new installation. I'm a junior Dev with limited experience in OS. But it's almost like the handshake is failing or the metadata that recognises it as a boot drive. Could anyone shed any light on this please? TL;DR: Drive A and B have windows. Could boot from either drive. Reset windows install on drive B. Windows no longer recognised A as a boot drive. TIA [/QUOTE]
