I am not sure what the hell is going on.... but here is what is happening.
The system stopped booting. It keeps going to a grub command. I removed grub and still windows will not start. I try the install/repair USB... it too will lock up and do NOTHING!
I reformat both hard drives. Install a fresh windows. Same thing.
Somewhere, somehow, it is reading the 2tb hd and the primary drive but it is not, it is the 1td drive that is the primary as it was the 1st drive in this computer, the 2tb was added later.
So, every morning, I need to boot a linux system from a usb, then reboot. When I reboot, I can get the windows recovery to work, however, there are no errors. Again, I formatted both drives and started from 0....
I have an MSI MPG-Z390 motherboard, everything was fine for over 2 years then it all turned to shit.
No viruses, been scanned and hd's reformatted then again with the fresh install.
I have too much invested in new software to just say fuck it all and put both machines back to linux.
Any ideas? I have reset the BIOS, tried swapping drive cables... as well as the fresh install. Still nothing!
Oh, one last thing... this ONLY happens on a hard boot. I can reboot windows with no issues. Basically, if I never shut down, I won't have a problem LOL.
