    Reconnect Your Drive - HP Pavilion 550-153w


    This has happened after the upgrade to Windows 10 Version 2004. This computer has a HDD that stores the files and an SSD that stores the Windows Operating System files. I am worried that one of those drives have been messed up during the Windows 10 software update. A screenshot has been attached for further help.

    Do disk management and/ or explorer show both the SSD and HDD? Do you use an external drive to backup to?

    @Pejole2165, they both are showing up. Yes I have an external drive but it hasn't recently been connected though.

    Just an observation, that image shows File History giving the impression another drive was used for that process.

    @Berton, I don't know how it happened as I have not touched the drives at all. I have left it alone. @Porthos helped me set up with the dual drive.

    It's still showing up! Below is the attachment. I really need this fixed.

    I just finished reseating my two internal HDDs in one of my two laptops, and the HDDs seem to be working better. I do not know if this idea will help or not, just wanted to toss the re-seating idea into the ring.

What exactly does this mean and which files are being saved/copied. Can they be deleted if they are copies, and where are they stored. This may seem a dumb question, but I would not ask if I could find the solution myself. 73233
