You have to assign the partitions a letter using Disk Management, then they will show up in File Explorer.

Do you really want them to see each other ?

In my opinion it would be better to keep the OS that you are not in unlettered.

That`s what I do with my 960 Evo and my 860 Pro on my X299 board. I can see both drives in Disk Management, but not in Explorer.

And it looks like your Recovey partitions are building up, how many upgrades have you done so far ?

2 ?

And Disk 2 has 2 Recovery partitions on it, isn`t it just a Data drive ?

And why is it marked Active ? Is it an external drive ?

Afaik, it is marked active as it is a legacy bios installation and being active does not mean that it is the one currently in use, but is the partition containing necessary boot files. UEFI does not require active partitions.

Lol

Why are you guys bombarding with all these comments and questions. It's the OPs own concern what he has and where.

The first post also suggests that he's working on disk clones so all System drives would be active, no matter if it's stuck internally to a SATA port or put in an USB-enclosure.

What comes to the second recovery partition...well Windows sometimes decide to do that when it thinks the one available does not have enough space.

I was a Bombardier in the Hawaiian Army, sorry.

But you are right, all replies removed.
