Original set up...

120gb SSD (boot drive)
1TB HDD (secondary drive)
Windows 10

Originally used AOMEI Backupper to create a system image from old SSD, then restored this to a larger SSD (500gb Crucial), unplugged old SSD, and boots fine from new one, used disk manager to extend main partition. Windows is running fine except no sign of my secondary hdd in either device manager or disk manager, but is still listed in bios. If I swap the new drive back to the old one, the hdd is back, along with all partitions, files etc.

Wondering if there's a quick magical solution before looking at other software to do the job.

*EDIT* seems to have sorted itself after a regular Windows update. Bizarre.
