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.

No i don't think there is a way to resolve this, this is why you are supposed to unplug all the other drives in a pc before you install windows because it will in come circumstances latch onto multiple and then stop working if you remove any.

Unless there is a new method to resolve this that i don't know of.
 
Yeah. I read that straight after I'd already done it. Had a look online and some people say partition wizard could work.
