Hey guys, I was on Windows 10, I flash on a USB drive the windows 8 pro 64 bit, but after the installation , I think that the windows create a new partition, for the OS. I can't provide a image because I don't have now a PC. On the BIOS says the boot option is the Windows Boot Manager ( sata3.0 (and my hard drive))
If I select my ssd then says that there is no OS. so how to fix this problem. I want the OS on my SSD , not on a Windows Boot Manager
 
If you select Windows boot manager, does it boot into Windows? Don't worry about the underlying partition structure. Since Windows 7 the boot loader has been separated from the main OS and a copy of 8 or above installed in a new (UEFI) system creates a number of small partitions but Windows itself is still on a single large partition taking up the great majority of the usable space on the drive.

Check that it boots in the Windows boot manger option (that's just an EFI thing, not a different drive or partition) and that Explorer shows the space you should have. If that works, leave it be.
 
Thanks for the reply , I convert the disk to MBR, I think this solved the problem, also on BIOS recognise my second HDD but on Windows 8 not, I can't select the HDD and ssd for boot option , only one of them .
 


Can you provide more detail on the sequence here?

You have an SSD and a HDD, correct? And the SSD was a boot drive and the HDD used just for storage?

How did you go about installing 8? Generally I'd unplug the storage drives during a format and re-install just to be safe. Which drive was converted from GPT to MBR and when? That can't be done without erasing a drive. And, do provide a screenshot in Disk Management if possible.
