[marcemarc30]

Hi guys

I have added a screen shot of my disk manager and my storage setting but i not really to sure what it should look like but that dont look right to me lol

Thanks for any help

Go to BIOS and switch the boot order so the SSD is first.  If you are sure you have everything moved over to the SSD, format teh HDD and give it a new drive letter.
