storemi Removing storemi

[nic_von]

Hey Linus fans!

I've got a problem... I installed storemi on my pc. I am using a WD 1TB HDD accelerated be an Kingston M.2 SSD. I believe that the storemi virtual disk is a boot drive. I now want to remove storemi from my computer completely and be able to access the drives from other computers too. I want my SSD to be the boot drive and I want to be able to change in which disk is every program. The problem is that I have no idea how to do that. Also I didn't find anything on the internet. Please help me! Step by step instructions would be great!

Yes thats usauly how it works. i dont know what storemi is tho but if you can access the data with just hooking it up then you can retrieve it. otherwise you will have to export it to something that tou can access after storemi have been deleted and a new OS loaded.

I'm stuck with the same issue, you need to remove the fast tier drive first (usually an SSD) so StoreMI will tranfer all data from the SSD to the HDD then erase the data on the SSD so it's not a single drive anymore. Then i'm stuck to having a ''virtual'' single HDD partitioned on the actual HDD which is an unallocated disk in disk manager.... so i guess i will have to transfer all the data from the HDD to my SSD THEN remove StoreMI HDD Tier and it will wipe everything on the HDD. I'm stuck there, i know i have to use something like Minitools software but don't know how to copy or tranfert files.

Built my mother an PC for her office a while back, decide to use Ryzen as a cost/performance measure. Saw that I could get StoreMI for free with 4xx chipset mobos and decided, hell why not try it out. I've been regretting that decision with every Windows Update. Every time W10 Updates it blue screens for one reason or the other. Each time I have to spend hours troubleshooting, having to travel the 2 hours to get to my folks. 

 

This time round all it needed was a simple boot loader assignment within the BIOS and a BIOS reset, but last time it required a near full re-install of W10. 

 

I've attempted to untier the drives with similar results to @Mathieu9836 any further help on this would be highly appreciated! AMD's user guide for StoreMI states that you need to use the "Remove Acceleration" option however I do not see this option anywhere. Even after moving all files to the "Slow media" drive.

So i had to finish what i begun last night, i finally removed the virtual drive on the HDD. I had to copy all files from my StoreMi Virtual HDD to the SDD i previouly deleted all the data and partitions, i was then able to delete the virtual HDD through StoreMI software and it reset the drive and delete all partitions at the same time. I then copied all the data on the SSD back to the HDD creating only 1 partition, StoreMI Tier was GGOOOONNNNEEEE. But i quickly found out that all the shortcuts of all the Softwares and Games i have on the HDD are not working anymore..... Thanks to StoreMI or maybe if i Duplicated the drives instead of just copying partition that would have not happened.
