I seem to have found a solution so for any who have a similar problem: you can pretty easily manually create an efi partition on the drive you want to use as boot drive. I found it here...

yes I won't forget that anymore lol, thanks

this is getting ridiculous: I reinstalled win10 on D, but now win10 on C is not an option anymore on startup, or in msconfig. it just vanished. what the hell. i altered nothing on that disk. if anyone can help, thanks a lot, im getting realy frustrated here edit: I just read that I should have...

Hi, I have the same problem, did you manage to find a fix? Thanks!

Hey I'm having the same problem. Did you find a fix? thanks

I'm thinking maybe something is wrong with my bootfiles/master boot record on my C drive. Does anyone know if you're able to startup win10 from C, while booted from D, if those files can be missing/corrupt or whatever? Or does a successful startup of win10 mean those files are ok? thanks again...

update: I managed to 'format' D with disk manager, but still cannot clean it with diskpart because of the same reason: the system booted from it. also it is still not visible in explorer so I cant use it as well

I tried cleaning D from within disk part, that didn't work as I stated above, but now the disk also won't show up anymore in Windows explorer. So it seems that I can't format D, I can't even see it, but windows has to boot from it :unsure:

So I changed msconfig to boot on default, from my C drive (the one I want to boot from). Trying to format the D drive with the second windows on it wasn't possible however because you 'can't format a drive from which you boot'. Makes sense of course, however I just changed that to the C drive...

hey thanks for your reply yeah it is set to Windows boot manager but followed by the sata drive, not the m2 I want it to be set to. I can't change it in the BIOS as far as I can tell. I'll try msconfig now thanks

After installing a new videocard my pc suddenly went straight to the bios instead of booting to win10. The bios didn't recognize it anymore, making me suspect I might have damaged it, or the slot, when installing the card... I then sticked it into the second M2 slot to see if that made a...

thanks for the tips the corsair is about twice the price of the d15 in my home country so I would rather go with the latter. I'm considering G-skill ripjaws 4 F4 3000 which aren't small but certainly not huge. as for the case i was thinking of the corsair 960t; plenty of space there I would say :-)

So for my soon to be mine rigg, I'm thinking about combining the Z-170 pro gaming from asus with Noctua's D15 (and a 6700K) and do some serious overclocking :-) However, the D15 is a bit large (understatement of the minute, worldwide that is), so does anyone know if it will block say some ram...
