Windows 10 wont boot?

[Niko_2142]

Hi ppl, i have this problem and i cant seem to solve it, i have my main hard drive which is a 3.5 inch 7200 rpm, there i have my old windows 7 and my actual os, windows 10, i scavenged a couple of hard drives from old laptops, both are 2.5'' 5400 rpm, one is empty, and the other one has windows 7 in it. since i installed the os on that one i cant get my system to post with it plugged, with the empty one there is no problem, but with all 3 plugged in windows keeps on the loading screen (before it lets me choose what os to boot) i've searched a bit on the internet but i didnt quite find what i was looking for

So it does post? Would be strange otherwise.

 

It's probably a problem with the boot order.

If I'm reading it correctly, it won't post if a certain HDD is plugged in(with or without other drives).

it does post, but hangs on the loading screen, every page i find has a different answer. 

 

and in the bios it says, and i deleted from the boot order those drives

Are all the drives sATA?

 

Do you have HDD mode set to AHCI? IDE? RAID?

they are all 3 sata, and i didn't change anything, before i could boot with all 3, but when i installed the windows os on one of the drives if i plug that one in it hangs on the loading screen, right now im using my main hard drive and the one thats empty. the one with windows is not plugged in

I would say re-install windows to that HDD.

 

Just to check other possibilities could you list the entire systems specs?
