Hi everyone,
I recently rebuilt my computer after getting a new GPU (been a couple years since it was last dusted), and when i plugged it all in, i started to get weird issues with my primary drive (SSD) not booting up, essentially, windows wasn't detected (i assumed it was corrupt), but i could access all the files on it fine when i booted with a secondary drive. After doing a ton of "fixes" including bootrec in command, startup repair, and other things, i finally go it to work, but i noticed in disk management, my secondary drive (HDD) is "Healthy (System, Active, Primary Partition), where as my SSD is (Boot/page file/active/crash/primary)"
If i try to make the storage drive inactive or something, or boot with only the SSD, i get "BOOTMGR is missing, press cntrl alt dlt to restart"
now im wondering how do i essentially make everything in windows and and system files to be on my primary drive? No matter what ive tried (rebuild mbr, chkdsk, etc.) i always end up getting bootmgr is missing when i try booting with only my ssd.
any solutions would be great, startup repair and bootrec commands haven't helped much yet...
thanks!
