Recently did a new build, but took over the ssd with OS from an old one. I'm trying to enable resizable bar for the extra preformance but to do that the bios wants to switch to UEFI instead of CMS. However UEFI for some reason thinks my hard drive is the boot drive, the hard drive has some movies on it and a few games nothing that should be confused with an operating system, so I'm wondering how to make it recognize the right drive. When I boot using UEFI, it says in the boot priority that it is booting off the wrong drive, and then it will say something along the lines of there's a problem with your OS install please contact your system admin. Also using windows 10 which is updating to pretty much the latest update (maybe behind by like 1). maybe relevent specs: boot drive: crutial MX 500 500GB drive causing issue: some random 300 GB toshiba hard drive additional drive that doesn't seem to be causing issues: Western Digital Blue SN570 1TB cpu: ryzen 5 5600g ram: 2x8GB kit of TEAMGROUP T-Force Vulcan Z motherboard: MSI PRO B550M-VC WIFI gpu: powercolor fighter rx 6650 xt psu: corsair cx650m

Prepare your current setup by moving to a GPT disk prior to switching to UEFI. Detailed steps are available at the provided link.

Your boot drive configuration is defined in GPT or MBR format. The installation was likely transferred from an older system. If the setup uses an MBR, it’s set up in Legacy mode, which isn’t compatible with UEFI. Usually, a boot drive that only works in CSM indicates a Legacy Windows installation.

It seems like the problem might be related to an older computer. I'll give it a shot!

You managed to install the system, but the boot process keeps failing with that specific error about missing file. Pressing escape restarts Windows normally, yet the repair tool isn’t working. You’ve tried using the installation media for fixes and running a disk check via command line. What additional steps could help resolve this issue?
