Storage Help ssd/hdd

[Alphaz211]

So I just installed windows 10 on my ssd and plugged in my hdd after. In my files in This PC I can still see my hdd and even in Disk Management but none of the files are showing up anywhere as if they're not even installed. In Disk Management I only need my SSD to show as my Boot drive but I see Healthy (Boot, Page File, Crash Dump) and my hdd is Healthy Primary Partition. I think this is why I can't use or see my data from my hdd. Please help

Right click on the partitions that are big and should hold your data and give them drive letters.

 

Take a picture of disk management and post it here and we can give more accurate answers

That's what it looks like all I want to do is leave my ssd as my boot and have 1 game on it and have my hdd for storage.

The installed applications don't magically transfer to your SSD. You'll have to install those applications again on your SSD.

 

The files are still there on the old drive.

 

Look into  E:\ Users \ login name \  My Documents , Desktop,  and other folders. You may have to check "Show hidden files or folders" in Windows Explorer.

 

If you had Steam, look into E: \ Steam or whatever Steam was installed ... you should be able to find a folder called Common where the downloaded games are.

If you install Steam again on your SSD and create a library somewhere, you can then move that Common folder there and restart Steam and your games will be detected.

 

 

Alternatively, when PC starts, press that key which lets you select from which hard drive to start (on some computers it's F8, on others it's another hotkey), and start from your old drive.

You can also choose the drive to boot from within the BIOS, it's in a menu somewhere.

 

So you can boot from the old drive, Look around for your files and move them all in a folder and then reboot and you'll start back from the SSD.

If you use TeamViewer or you're willing to use it, I can spend a couple of minutes to try and see what you mean and maybe figure it out. Send me a private message with the info if interested .

As is ... not sure what you mean so can't help you much more.

From your previous tip should I just reinstall everything?
