I recently just built my own gaming computer, everything worked fine the first time i installed windows, i unplugged my HDD to install windows directly to the SSD, everything was fine. I decided to reset my computer (because i thought i was going to raid my hard drives but i changed my mind and didnt even mess with it) I reset and it prompted me to put in the windows 8.1 disk to wipe the computer back to factory which it pretty much was in the first place. While it was resetting my pc i unplugged the HDD Like the first time everything seemed to work fine i then i installed drivers, restarted my pc let the drivers finalize, Turned off the system plugged in my hdd again but this time windows wouldn't start and took me to a repair screen after 5 minutes of waiting.. I have reset the system about 4-5 times but every time i plug the hdd in windows doesn't start. Any solutions?
