Recently just installed W10 on a machine as it seemed to have a problem of black-screening randomly and when rebooted asking the user to select keyboard layout again, however both the mouse and keyboard wouldn't work. So I decided to do a fresh install on the other hard drive and have done so, however when trying to format the old drive, I believe the fresh install is still relying on the old HDD OS according to disk management.
Is there anyway of resolving this, as it allows you to choose either for bootup. I read that you can unplug the old OS bootdrive and then boot from the W10 utility on USB and have it repair the required files, and then you can format the old drive. Although the OS can't see the bootable USB drive, although it did when I installed the fresh OS. Any other way of doing this?
Thanks in advance.
