Hi all.

Today I decided to fit my new ssd. After doing so my computer no longer wants to boot. Initially it was flashing and trying to load but not going to Windows. I realised that I had not reconnected my original samsung ssd properly and it was trying to load off my hdd which I know has boot up issues from Windows in the past so it's just there as storage. Then it loaded fine but once in Windows I looked for the new ssd and it just had a red cross on what it called the F drive. Windows said it couldn't locate it. A while later a tab came up saying something about needing to restart to correct something and me trusting the computer I clicked on this tab and now all I get is it trying to repair it and failing. Then comes up after trying the startup repair option in advance settings with d:\windows\system32\logfiles\srttrail.txt

I have googled it and can't come up with any way to resolve this. I have also tried disconnecting the new ssd and old hdd and makes no difference. I have also tried using other sata power and data cables without success. I have managed to boot into Windows 10 in safe mode but don't know what to do now.

Please help
 
Panic over. For some bizarre reason after booting in safe mode and restarting it appears to be back normal. After several shut downs and reboots slowly adding the disks it still loads and works.

Now my only question is why can't I put anything on my new SanDisk ultra 2 ssd? I can see it when I click on the folder on the bar in desktop. It is marked as being F:\ but has a question mark on top of it. My second hdd is the E drive and main OS is a Samsung 840 evo ssd C drive.

Anyone else had this and know what to do? Do I need to format it some how?
