Question New nvme m.2 (won’t boot os)

[Dr_Witty]

Pc
Ryzen 5 3600x
Sapphire 5700xt nitro +
32gb ddr4 3600mghz ram
WD nvme 250gb for OS
4gb HDD
Rm750x
Asus b450f gaming motherboard

I am trying to install a second m.2 to the second slot on my motherboard. When it’s installed the pc won’t boot windows. When I take the NEW drive out my pc boots up fine. I’ve tried switching the SATA cable from my HDD to other positions and still same result. Is it possible to run another nvme with my setup? If so please tell me how I can fix this issue and if not any recommendations on how to upgrade storage?

Btw I’m not trying to change the OS. I’m just trying to add more storage for games.

Thanks!

Second picture comes first it try’s to boot twice before getting hit with the “recovery” page

 

[Dr_Witty]

Load into recovery environment - command prompt (after advanced repair options).
Execute following and show screenshot with command output.

diskpart​

list disk​

select disk 0​

list partition​

select disk 1​

list partition​

select disk 2​

list partition​

list volume​

How do I get into command prompt after advanced repair options?

After advanced repair options you should get following screen.

Try startup repair first.

If that doesn't fix it then go into command prompt. and execute commands listed in #59.

Do I hit the red x on command promt now?

 

[SkyNetRising]

There should have been space between list disk (it's not a single word).
Anyway ..
enter following
(if you get any errors then stop immediately)

select disk 2​

create partition primary​

format fs=ntfs quick​

 

[SkyNetRising]

Then execute following.

exit​

bcdboot E:\windows /s D:​

​

Last message should be "Boot files created successfully".

And show screenshot (please no videos).

Probably wrong command syntax was entered.
Do it again. With proper spacing.

bcdboot E:\windows /s D:

Then press power button.
