[QUOTE=Paul Black;1945584]Hello @KenY7744
I have just re-read this thread and omitted to tell you why you should ALWAYS disconnect ANY other drive [ external, USB, etc ] when reinstalling. One of the main reasons is to STOP Windows installing the Boot Partition on the WRONG drive. Also, with other drives attached this can cause [ probably will ] conflicts which lead to problems!
Please elaborate on the conflicts/problems that can occur.
Can you explain the following experiences I've had:
I recall that once I disconnected a 2nd internal drive, and when I connected it after the install, I had all kinds of problems with permissions. I finally had to reinstall with the 2nd internal CONNECTED and afterwards, I didn't have any problems with permissions.
I have installed Windows 10 many times before to an unallocated partition on Drive 0 with internal and external drives connected and never had any problems with permissions or recognition by the OS.
I've never had a situation where the boot partition was installed on the wrong drive.
Many thanks for your suggestions.
Ken
