Hello everyone! New to the forum. Title is TL;DR.
Edit: Sorry to post this in WIndows 8 forum.
I recently got a Kingston A400 12GB and I installed Win 10 on it but it turns out I now have 2 OS. So I manually booted ionto my SSD's OS and then formatted the drive that had previously installed OS (on one of my 3 HDDs) And the issue is my OS "scans and repairs drive 🙂// XXXXXX) where XXX is replaced by a mixture of random long string of letters and numbers. It gets over in like a couple of seconds and the OS boots normally after that.
I know SSDs are way faster than hard drives when it comes to boot timings but mine still takes the same time as my HDD did.
I initially had my OS in my WD 500GB, then shifted it to my WD 2TB, and now on SSD. When I first tried to freshly reinstall my OS on one of the partitions of my 500GB drive, it did not allow me to due to some reasons so I installed it in my 2TB drive's partition and it worked smooth. Now I installed using the same USB that I used before but this time I installed OS directly on my SSD without deleting the previous one so I ended up with two OSs. I manually booted into my SSD, completed the setup and formatted the previous OS partition. Restarted to face many errors. I could not boot in my SSD automatically so I tried editing the boot priority list but there was no SSD in the list. Only 2 of my 3 HDDs were present the 500GB and 2TB which had both OS installed in the past. After several reinstalls I finally unallocaterd my SSD and installed directly in it, which gave me a message "windows will create a small partition in order to work things around correctly" something like this, plugged out all my HDDs and the OS boooted automaticallly. But now it scans and repairs drive everytime I start my PC. Maybe this is affecting my boot time? The SSD is brand new.
Also, if this matters: The boot priority list now had 2TB drive and finally the SSD as well. But in BIOS it shows 1. Windows Boot Partition (WDC WD20EZRZ00Z5HB0) and 2. Kingston SA400S37120G. I guess the SSD should be the one with Windows Boot Partiton label? Maybe that's what my OS is trying to repair? It's "Boot Manager"?
Specs:
Gigabyte GA-H110M-S2
i3-7100
8GB Ram
WD20EZRZ, WD10EZEX, WD5000AACS, Kingston A400
GTX 1050Ti
500W PSU
Windows 10 Pro.
Sorry if I sound silly.
