Hello and thanks in advance for any help,
first of all, I installed an SSD a couple months ago and cloned everything to it from my HDD. It all went beautifully. Windows booted off from SSD and all was good.
Now yesterday, I did a clean boot via msconfig, which meant that I disabled all services besides windows' (Selective startup) due to a program I was having difficulty installing (simconnect problem, but that's a whole other subject 😀). Then, I restarted windows a couple of times, hadn't put it to Normal startup (all services and startup programs) yet.
But then..... Wanted to launch all the services again and selected the Normal startup option, which was a mistake as I later realized. Then on the next restart, major lag and I couldn't understand what had happened. Then I saw that it started booting from HDD (It's sooooo freaking slow on HDD).
I'm pretty sure that this is because, when I selected Normal startup in msconfig, it checked the box to "Use original boot configuration" and somehow reversed back to HDD.
Everything is messed up currently. Chrome is back at the state, where it was, when I went to SSD (old tabs open from that time). And also, all startup services and desktop icon placement, is what it was back then.
Also, my SSD before, was C: and HDD was F:, but now, HDD is C: and SSD is I:. And the weird thing is that documents and files like that are on the C:/HDD now, but they were on SSD before. And on the I:/SSD I don't have documents at all, which should be the case for HDD. So I'm guessing that it created some kind of a symbolic link between those "windows necessary" files incl. documents etc? Because the disk space used for both the SSD and HDD is exactly what it was before yesterday, when this problem started.
I neeeeed to get windows to boot from SSD again and that SSD would be C: and HDD F: again. Changing boot order from BIOS, doesn't help. Taking out the HDD, doesn't help, windows didn't boot at all then. And in msconfig, it only recognizes OS on the HDD. (I'm feeling that all the windows files somehow got either symbolically copied/tied or smth from SSD to HDD)
My system is Asus N56 laptop. SSD is a Samsung 850 Pro 512GB, but not like that matters
Hope I didn't too big of a story and thanks in advance for any help.
