Pc won’t boot with new hdd installed

I get “reboot and select proper boot device”.

I can go into bios and under boot override and boot from there.

In diskpart disk 0(win 10 drive), 2,3(new drive),4 and 5 all have a * under gpt, disk 1 doesn’t.

This is as far as my knowledge can take me with diskpart, I’m still learning.

I assume you just added a drive rather than replace the os disk. Therefore check the boot order in BIOS and ensure your Windows drive is first boot drive.

I just added the drive. Boot order is Blu-ray drive then os drive.
If I unplug the new drive it boots fine.

Odd, after reading your reply I changed boot order to os drive and disable for the other two options and it boots.

Thank you! My little boy can do his online times tables game homework without me teaching him to go into bios.

Glad to help. Often when adding a new drive it can put the boot order out of whack and you need to rejig the priority.
