Hello everyone, I’m using a second Windows drive for work purposes. It has built-in antivirus, so I keep it on a separate drive and only access it weekly. Everything worked last week except this week when I changed the letter assigned to each drive. The second drive is showing an error saying: "An operating system wasn't found." I tried disconnecting all drives, but the one I want to boot into didn’t come up. I’m trying to set it active and found instructions here (the disk is MBR) – https://windows101tricks.com/operating-s...indows-10/. I don’t know what to do next, any advice would be greatly appreciated.
