So I got a new drive for my brother to migrate his OS over to. I wanted to keep some files, so I loaded up the new drive with a usb stick to get a clean install of windows on it. I then booted the system from the new drive, and transferred all the files that I wanted to keep from the old drive onto it.
Now this is where I get stupid so please forgive me.
I wanted to still keep the Steam games on the old drive, because I didn't have enough room on the other one. So I changed ownership on the windows files and deleted everything from the drive except for the steam games. I was still running into problems with the system crashing and not booting from the correct drive so I then installed some software to delete the system partition and recovery partitions to see if that's what was causing the problems.
After I deleted the partitions from the old drive the system will no longer boot and I'm all out of ideas.
There is a fresh install of windows on the new drive (except for a few save files and pictures from the old one that I still want to keep), but it just won't boot from it and I don't know why.
The new drive is a 500GB SSD and the old one is a 1TB HDD
