I had this SSD from my old laptop laying around for years and decided to install it in my desktop.
That caused a bit of confusion, and the windows 10 installer gave error 0x80300024, which I solved by unplugging the original HDD. Then it allowed me to install windows on the SSD.
Now I got the SSD up and running and realized it called itself C:.
Then I tried to run some programs from the HDD which is now D: and none of them worked.... so im like f....
I realized I don't know any way to solve the issue other than boot into the HDD?? and then recover the HDD to previous version.
Even after doing that I wouldn't see how I would progress installing the SSD, as the primary drive.
Please help me understand, I will just wait and do nothing hoping somebody will answer soon.
I guess I will also consider just starting fresh and reinstalling things.
If it helps more info. the SSD is 240gb, HDD is 1 TB, windows 10 pro. I wanted to have faster boot time and performance for games. I had heard you could just have windows and some games on the SSD while having other things installed on the HDD or second drive.
Edit: oh and to make more sense, when I got the windows installer error it basically says the drive was the wrong format, nfs instead of g something, so when I ran it after disconnecting the HDD, I had to delete the formatting on the SSD, so that is probably when it got renamed to C. Because I had tried formatting it in windows previously, and it was called D.
