Background: New build with two SSDs, each with a separate install of Windows 10. One drive is my personal drive, the other is for work. The idea was that the work drive would be the property of my employer, but allow me to work from home when needed through a VPN connection.
I assembled the computer three weeks ago with only the personal drive installed. POST was fine, installed Windows and other applications without issue. This install of Windows continues to run perfectly as far as I can tell (boots without issue).
Last weekend I installed the work drive and removed my personal drive (so not only drive attached to the system is the work drive). Installed Windows, rebooted a couple times to make sure there weren't any issues, and reinstalled the personal drive. Confirmed that I was able to select either drive to boot from via the UEFI boot menu. Buttoned everything up and connected to my network and ran Windows Update on the work drive to get everything up to date. Also installed some apps that I had access to (Office, TeamViewer, Adobe DC). So far everything is running smoothly, rebooted a couple times during this process.
IT contractor continues installing necessary applications, remoting in to the computer via TeamViewer. One of them requires a restart. Computer is set to boot to personal drive by default, so the restart does not allow contractor to finish work. I get home and reboot to the work drive, and get this BSOD with this stop code: NTFS FILE SYSTEM. It attempts to restart, some repair operations are run, but error still occurs. However, I am able to access the advanced startup tools.
There are options to repair the install, and of course I could just do a clean install again, but I'd rather avoid having to disassemble my computer again if I can. If I choose one of the restore or repair options, do I risk my other Windows install? Any other suggestions?
