My issue is, if I start my computer up, it will give me a standard blue screen / system repair error. What it thinks it's doing is booting from my Crucial SSD, which has Win10 installed, but it must be trying to boot from another SSD. How do I know? If I select my Samsung SSD from the boot menu (never had windows on it), it boots like normal. Verifying my C/system drive in windows shows the Crucial SSD, as expected.
How did this all get messed up? I'm not exactly sure, but I know it has to do with a series of suspicious events. My computer has been working fine for months, yet I recently had to update Win10 to use the Xbox Game Pass trial. After the update, one of my Seagate 2TB HDDs died. I tried swapping SATA cables with my other Seagate 2TB HDD, but no luck. The failed drive doesn't show in BIOS, but I can see it in disk manager -- just can't do anything with it as I get an I/O error in windows.
Aaaaanyways, after messing with those two drives, this error started. One time I hit a SATA cable loose on an SSD, so it did try to boot once with the system drive disconnected I think. But the error is still very weird, as if this was a boot order issue, why am I forced to select the incorrect drive to boot from the correct drive? Also to mention, it only shows my Crucial boot drive in the UEFI menu.
Thoughts? Do I need to clear my bios settings? I can, but just didn't want to mess with / record all my CPU OC settings.
TIA!
