My SSD has my OS on it but it comes up with the original 'Boot drive not found, insert boot drive and reboot' im not sure why. Also, when i am in troubleshooting, my ssd is unwriteable as it is in the wrong partition type. I do have a HDD but it does not work, for whatever reason. I have it plugged in with a SATA cable to the motherboard as i do with the SSD, yet when i try to install windows again it does not recognise that drive.
I am happy to completely wipe the ssd but i am confused as it says i cant wipe it because of a missing partition or that the windows library is locked.
This is Windows 10, just so you know.

UPDATE: The SSD is working FINE now. just the HDD connectivity issues.

I found A solution. If your HDD is plugged in to your computer and it shows up in the troubleshooting page but not the disk managment, then go to:
Control Panel > System and Security > Storage Spaces, and then click on 'Change Settings' & give admin permission.
(If your drive doesn't show up here, i don't know.)
Then click 'Create a storage space' this will format the drive and enable it to be writable. Then it should allow you to add a drive letter, making it possible to access through 'This PC'.

Note: I am not a computer genius so this will be flawed.
Note: WINDOWS 10 only has been tested.
