    Skull_Zockt got a reaction from problemsolver in Computer can't find boot device   
    Haha 😄
     
    I am not going the Linux way, this is more of executing commands I don't know the functionality of.
    Guess I'll just have to life with never opening up Disk Management again ^^
     
    Thanks again for the help!

    Edit: for others coming here with similar issues follow this guide that already exists 🙂

    Assuming you can't force the UEFI to boot to your drive, you're missing your EFI partition and also Windows Boot manager.
     
    Before you do this, if you care about your files, I'd plug the SSD into another computer as an extra drive and copy any files off that you need. This way, if the steps below go wrong, you'll have the important stuff and can just reinstall Windows.
    Boot your PC from a Windows installation disc or recovery disk. Hit “Shift + F10” simultaneously to enter Command Prompt. Input the command lines below to shrink a partition to get unallocated space. You're going to want to pick the biggest partition in this case. diskpart list disk select disk x (x represents the sequence number o the disk where an EFI partition is required) list partition select partition n (n represent the sequence number of the partition to be shrinked) shrink desired=500 (shrink the partition by 500MB)  
    Now, you can create an EFI system partition by using the unallocated space with the command lines below. create partition efi size=200 format quick fs=fat32 label=”system” create partition msr size=1128  
    Once the 2 partitions are created, use the commands below to install bootloader and other necessary apps. exit (exit diskpart) bootrec/fixboot bcdboot c:\Windows /s b: /f all  
    ⚠️ Needless to say, there's a (small) chance you'll lose everything during the partition shrink.
    Here's my source for this. I've done this stuff myself, but referenced this guide for all the commands etc.

    Yessss... Managed to get it to work. My issue was that I have multiple drives in my system and therefore I had to change the following command a little.
     
    bcdboot C:\Windows /s b: Instead of C I had to choose E.
     
    For some reason in the OS the drive with Windows is shown as C: but in diskpart it was E:
     
    Well man, can't thank you enough. Would have been a pain to reinstall everything. You saved me a lot of work.
     
    Thanks again,

    Hey man,
     
    first of all thanks for the help. I managed to shrink my Volume. 
    I now got the following partitions on my drive
    PartNum   Type   Size   Offset
    1 Reserved 16MB 1024KB
    2 Primary 930GB 17MB
    3 System 200MB 931GB
     
    I failed on the create partition msr size=1128 command.
    at first I thought that there is just not enough space, therefore I shrank my partition by an additional 1000MB.
    But after that I still got the same error. I don't know if it helps if I post the german error message.
     
    Is there any information I could provide you that would help?

    I am currently undervolting the CPU and with that I can achieve acceptable temps with the fan spinning at 50%.
    Thanks for helping, still don't know why the MoBo can't read the temps and Windows can, but at least it works now

    You could do that, you can just make a share for the raid array and another one for the single drive.
