📎 AI Summary:
The original poster has installed Windows on an SSD while the recovery and EFI system partitions remain on the HDD, which is connected via a single SATA port. They inquire whether disconnecting the HDD before reinstalling Windows on the SSD will work, given the BIOS only offers AHCI and Intel RST options. A respondent confirms that disconnecting the HDD will allow the Windows reinstallation to proceed successfully, and the original poster thanks them. Overall, the thread reflects a helpful exchange about resolving boot and partition placement issues on a laptop with limited SATA options.

On my laptop Asus HDD is Disk0.
I have installed Windows on SSD but Recovery Partition is on HDD (Disk0), also EFI System Partition.
My laptop has only one SATA port so I cannot change to other port SATA.
In BIOS settings in SATA configuration I have only two options, AHCI and Intel RST Premium, no Disable option.
If I disconnect HDD and I will install Windows on SSD it will work ?
