Question Disk has two drives and Boot problems

[Daniel Hadaya]

Hi,
Sometimes when I boot my PC it freezes in the Windows logo, without the loading balls. I have to shut down my PC from the power button and start it up again until it starts working again. I had made a new fresh install of the Windows to the SSD.

I have tried to go through the Startup Repair, but it doesn't show any errors, but when I enter the Command Prompt from here:

and I type C: -> DIR , there is no files visible.
If I in the other hand when I type F: -> DIR , I get the usual Windows, Program Files etc. visible.

This is confusing, as while logged in Windows, the sub files Windows, Program Files etc. are located under C:\, and the System Reserved F:\ is empty (125MB free / 548MB) and yes I have selected show hidden files.

Here is a image from the Disk Management, for some reason there is C and F assigned in the Disk 0 (boot drive).

Here's a screenshot of the Disk 0 properties:

I hope to get help. If you need any more information, I'll give them. My Windows is in Finnish, but I can translate anything you need.

My PC Specs if needed:
Windows 10 Pro
AMD FX-6200
8GB RAM
750 Ti
Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3
1x Kingston A400 240 Gt (Main, boot drive)
1x Kingston SSDNow V+200 60GB (Secondary drive)
1x WD Green WD10EADS 1TB (Secondary drive)

Download hard disk sentinel and see if you have problems with the drives.
The active drive is probably on the wrong one.
Disconnect all drives apart from C drive.

After re-reading
I think you did the error on windows install.
Always install it while no other drives are in your computer, I think it's looking at the others as being Active and getting confused.

USARFet is the expert when it comes to all this

You can remove drive letter from F: partition, so it doesn't confuse you anymore.
Drive letters in windows installation environment can be different. That is normal.

Check health of your system drive with Kingston SSD Manager.

Thanks for the replies @ElectrO_90 and @SkyNetRising . I ran HDSentiel and SSD Manager, both showed that the drives are in healthy and good conditions.

What should I do next, is reinstalling Windows the only option to get the problems fixed? Or could there possibly be other solutions?

In the forum we get user complaints about Kingston A400 drives quite frequently.
I'm afraid, it's not the best product to work with. Yes it's cheap, but product quality could be better.

Personally - I'd throw it out and get Samsung or Crucial instead.

Thanks. That's a pity, I'll have to see what I can do.
