Hello, I recently installed the Samsung EVO 860 500GB into my prebuilt PC (ASUS ROG G20AJ-B08) which already has a 1TB HDD in it. I watched around some YouTube videos beforehand, and decided I wanted to:
In the process, I ran into a number of problems, always automatically repairing windows, and duplicating windows boot manager, it was weird and at the end of it all, my HDD now won't work. When I try booting into it, I get error 0xc00000f saying its not accessible. I don't know what my options are from here in terms of booting from my HDD again, I tried troubleshooting and system restore which successfully completed, however after the restart it still did not boot. It's fine if I am going to have to wipe both drives and do a fresh install of windows, but I don't know where to go from here, and if it's possible to get back into my HDD one last time before it's wiped just to make sure I have everything I might need finally transferring. Thank you in advance
- Back up files from HDD onto external drive to clear up space,
- Clone HDD to SSD using Macrium Reflect,
- Change boot drive to SSD and format HDD to use as storage drive.
