Is there anything on your the drives you need? Anything you do not want to lose?

I would rather keep it but it doesn't bother me if I have to wipe it

Then wipe the SSD, and clean reinstall windows (don't clone). And with any luck you may be able to retrieve some files from the HDD. If you are doing a dual drive system (SSD for os and software + HDD for mass storage), then just copy as stuff you prefer to keep on the SSD. Wipe the HDD (to remove the OS and OS partitions, just wipe it). and then put back the files you saved on the SSD back on HDD if you desire.

If you have windows installation media you could try reanimating your system. Do you have one?

Do you have a USB install media or disk?

That is a good idea, but it isn't really likely to work. I also don't recommend cloning systems. It causes problems. I once cloned my 850 Evo and when I should of gotten 525+ mbs, I was only getting 100mbs.

Boot into it and check if it sees your system on either drive.

[coolfx]

what do you mean

its risky to do those clone transfers. They don't always go well. Just reload windows 10 or whatever operating system you use on the computer. You can download the newest windows 10 at https://www.microsoft.com/en-ca/software-download/windows10

[Verrierr]

If you boot into windows installation media on a rig which has windows already installed it should be able to discover it. You can then take some steps to recover it.

Boot the usb drive, select install windows. Chose the SSD to install it on, there should be an option to erase. (delete all partitions)

 

 

Then continue the install. You can wipe the HDD later in by using dskmgmt. BE CAREFUL. DO NOT WIPE THE HDD.

If you didn't remove your HDD partitions you can then still access all of the stuff on it from a clean installation of windows on your SSD.
