    Cant find 2nd drive in boot menu


    I'm not sure if this is the correct place for this question please direct me if not.
    I installed a lenox version on my HD, it worked fine. I added another HD and installed win10. When I boot & go to the boot menu it only shows 1 drive. I go into the bios & it shows both drives. I don't know how to fix this. I can provide more info upon request. Thank you.

    Not sure how to do what you asked. It always boots in lenox & the only way I can get into Win10 is to disconnect the lenox drive. I assume you were referring to disk management in win10?

    How to Post a Screenshot of Disk Management

    You have installed a Lenox or Linux?

    "When I boot & go to the boot menu it only shows 1 drive"
    How do you launch the boot menu?

    It means that Linux boot manager (Grub) has added a Windows option on the menu.
