I have a pc that I built that has an ssd and a normal hdd. I previously had it set up to boot off the ssd (where windows was installed), and I kept most of my games, documents, and data on the regular hdd. I had it set up through windows (8.1) that my documents, downloads, and those kinds of things were routed to and stored on the regular hdd.
I just did a fresh install of windows on the ssd, and now the pc won't finish starting up if the regular hdd is attached. It starts up fine with just the ssd, but when I attach the hdd, it hangs on the blue windows logo screen with the spinning dots or immediately thereafter on a black screen.
I assume it's because of how I was using the hdd previously, but how do I fix this so I can get all my data off the hdd? Thanks much!
