Hi, I own an Acer Swift X SFX 14-41G GTX1650 R5500U with 8GB RAM and a 512GB m.2 drive featuring two slots. When installing a secondary 970 EVO 250 GB, it always directs to Windows Recovery, regardless of the boot drive selected. Disabling the 970 EVO in UEFI allows normal booting but prevents access to the drive. I've spent many hours formatting, renaming, and swapping drives. It was the old boot drive on another system, now functioning well as a secondary drive on my desktop. Anyone have solutions?

Remove all partitions from the second drive and reformat it.

Wow, that functions for a reason. I used to format it on the old PC, but I think you shouldn't. Thanks.
