Hi guys,

 

I just finished my new pc build and everything works fine except when using my old SSD.

I got 2 new SSD's and planned on using my old one aswell.

 

The new pc works fine with the 2 new SSD's but as soon as I plug in my old SSD ("schijf 2") (was my former bootdrive), it won't boot.

When looking into diskmanagement I can see the old EFI and Recover partitions?

Any idea on how to solve it? Or delete the EFI/Recover partition?

 Thanks!

No I don't need the data

you need to nuke it using powershell or cmd then. You comfortable with those?

You can try formatting it via cmd line.

 

1.) diskpart

2.) list disk

3.) sel disk # (# = the number of the disk you want to select, MAKE SURE ITS THE RIGHT ONE!)

4.) clean

4.) create partition primary

5.) format fs=ntfs

6.) assign

Or just right click and delete each of the partitions in the disk manager and recreate one.
