So cause of memory issues that seemed to come from corrupted windows files I did a reinstall of Windows, but I forgot to set a restore point and my computer seems to have gone back in time a couple years. Am I screwed.

CaptainSarcastic posted:Wait, have you established your memory is okay? Because usually it is bad RAM causing corruption in Windows, not the other way around. I don't know the actual issue. But I could not use the diagnostic tools, and what I was following recommended reinstalling windows. I did not do a hard reset. Giving my computer a clean with a vacuum fixed it for a bit, and it's supposed to be hardware related.

My biggest issue is that I was using a SSD as my OS Drive and now it seems that it has reset to before I was using it as my primary drive.

Yes I actually did do the test properly and failed so there is an issue. But currently I want to change my OS back to the SSD with all my stuff in it. It reset to the default and I want it back to that state. I can deal with the memory issues after.

kirbysuperstar posted:I'm not sure what you mean by "change yor OS to the SSD"? Is there actually two installs of Windows hanging around? Hitting up the Boot Options in your BIOS should let you see any I think so, I can get better details in a second. I went to bios but couldn’t figure out some stuff give me a minute.

Yeah I was not clear sorry. Someone else built and installed stuff on the PC for me few years back. Though looking at it. I don’t think it actually went back in time. The primary hard drive just changed back to the original one. Also yes my primary issues have been blue screens, and games crashing.

Klyith posted:Fix attempt 1: you need to enter your computer's BIOS and select the SSD as the boot drive The first option is not working for me, nothing changes no matter what drive I pick as the boot one. I don't really get it yet. The second thing is what started this mess for me. I am guessing by reinstalling windows to the original hard drive. But it's my best option right now.

CaptainSarcastic posted:You probably want to run memtest86 for a few runs and see if you are getting memory errors, because if your RAM is bad then no amount of reinstalls is going to help. Was it a terrible thing to use this on a passport ultra. After using this it seems like all the space on it is gone. Edit: I fixed this.

I realized were I made my first mistake. After I made the installer USB stick, I started the installation directly from the stick rather, than restarting the computer and booting it up.

I feel like am going to cry No matter what I do I can't make the OS start from the other drive.  Klyith posted:
There must be something I am not getting. Cause I have been trying to do this and nothing is changing.

karoshi posted:Verify the old install is still valid by physically unplugging the power cables from the new drive(s). Leave only the drive you're trying to boot powered up. I have no idea were anything is in there. A result of not building it myself, but having a custom one. Anyway I have contacted the local Tech people which I should have done in the first place. I will just use a slightly nerfed computer for now.

Flipperwaldt posted:It must take a willful act to have drives named a and b that aren't floppies, right? Like, manually assign the letter kinda thing. I've never seen it. Don't even think it's the problem, but weird to me. B was originally E but in my haste to fix things, I reformatted it and copied everything over. Which caused it's new letter to be B. Another thing I regret.
