Windows confusing drives

[redbullvodka]

Hi! So I'm currently at a friends place, and he has some troubles with his drives. He has 3 drives in total, 1 1TB SSD, 1 250GB SSD and 1 1TB HDD. Windows was installed on the 1TB SSD, the 250gb was filled with games, and the HDD was basically empty.

For some reasons, his taskmanager showed him that the C: drive was the HDD, eventhough in the "My Computer", it showed the C: as the 1TB SSD.

I disabled the HDD in the bios, but then windows was complaining about a missing bootloader, so I said fuck it and was going to do a fresh install of windows on the SSD. First, all drives got listed in the windows install menue, couldn't figure out which was which as it only showed sizes instead of what drive it was, so I shut down the system, and physically unplugged the 2 drives that we did not want to touch.

 

Now the Windows install menue is STILL showing all the drives, even though they are 100% physically unplugged from the system. I'm at a loss here folks, halp
