This was a bit of an odd one, last night my new case came, i needed something large for better airflow so i was removing all my parts out my previous case and putting them in my new one. Everything was fine but my fans havent arrived yet, so i just did a quick job and will sort the rest out today, so i forgot to plug my 3TB HDD into sata. When i did this and turned the PC on it wouldnt boot, despite the fact that both my NVME M.2 drives were detected by the bios. I have a 500GB NVME with my Windows on it, and a 2TB for all my games. But it wouldnt boot and wouldnt recognise the boot device.
So plugged it in and went straight into windows, so no real issue. The issue i do have though, is that i was planning to remove all HDDs and never have to use them again. If i was to remove the drive would i need to reinstall windows? or is there something else that i can do?
Also whats the cause for it? because all my windows files are on the M.2 NVME.
Oh a little side note aswell, when i first built the system start of lockdown last year, i started with the 500GB and the HDD, only just bought the 2TB a couple of weeks ago. (thought that was worth mentioning just incase)
