Hey All!
I recently purchased a new PC and I came across a problem I never met before. There are two storages in the PC: a 250 Gb SSD in the M2 slot and a 4 Tb HDD in a SATA slot.
After installing all the components I went on with installing Win10. At the point when I needed to decide on which storage I wish to have the OS the default option was the HDD (most probably because it was Disc 0 plugged in the SATA). I, however wished to have it on the SSD instead, so I chose that one. Right after I clicked on the SSD a System Recovery Partition appeared on the HDD. I didn't care about this by that time, Win10 installed on SSD, everything cool. Then I wanted to make the first format of the HDD in Disc Manager. As it was a 4 Tb drive I first needed to convert it to MBR disc, which however was not possible anymore because of the System Recovery Partition being already present there. As I didn't see any other option I simply deleted the SRP and succeeded formating the HDD in the end. I thought I can restore the SRP by reinstalling Win10 with the HDD detached from motherboard, but it wasn't the case. SRP wasn't recreated even after this step and I don't know why. My guess is that SRP is by defrault always created to Disc 0 and the SSD I have in the M2 slot is still Disc 1 even if I detach the HDD. Do you have any idea what I can do to restore it?
Thanks a lot
