Installing new storage.

[Adrian Potocki]

Hi guys, i had problems recently with my OS, and i couldn't install any other OS on my HDD.

So i've decided to buy an SSD and i've already installed it and then the OS on it.

I wanted to know if it is possible to re-connect the old HDD that i have (there is still the old OS on it).

I have seen that video already, it doesn't really help me out because i have operating systems installed on both the drives.

I've already tried to connect them both to the mobo then turned on the system but it stopped on booting, saying that it can't detect any device, than i set the priority to the ssd (in SETUP mode) and the problem persist.

Did you format the SSD before you installed the OS on it? Straight out of the box it should still be formatted. At this point I'd set the HDD as your first boot device, make sure you can see the SSD in device manager, format it and then do a clean install. Afterward, set the SSD as the first boot device and see if it's recognized then.
