Everything proceeded smoothly throughout. However, today when I began the system, a black screen showed an instruction similar to "Windows boot up manager --- choose form which device to boot," and only my disk was visible where the system resides. After resetting my PC, it started normally again—though I had tried resetting multiple times without success. Should I be concerned? This situation hasn’t occurred before. I verified the C drive with crystal disk info, and the program displayed no errors. It might have been a keyboard keypress during startup that triggered the issue.

Hey there,
Do you have any other drives connected to the system that might have run the operating system before? Or is everything using just one drive and causing problems now?

Hey, I own four drives but only one has ever had an OS installed. Recently, I performed a fresh Windows install because I faced issues with NVIDIA drivers due to old files in Windows.old. I'm deleting them now (using the disk cleanup option), and it might have been the cause of the problem.

Just to confirm, did you have the operating system installed on one of the four drives? Was the OS set up on another drive within the system, or was it on the same drive? You should ideally disconnect all drives except the one where Windows will be installed, then install Windows and reconnect the remaining drives. It seems your system is detecting an older installation, which might explain the dual booting issue.

I set up "fresh start with Windows" on the same drive, though it was a few days ago. The other drives have never had an operating system installed. It's odd—it only happened once, and there was just one disk to pick from (the one with OS installed plus the file WINDOWS.OLD before the fresh start installation). It's strange that it occurred now, not immediately during the setup.

Was die ursprüngliche Partition mit Windows darauf gelöscht, bevor das neue Windows 11 installiert wurde?

I didn't select the "Fresh start" option and confirmed that all my files remain intact.

When using several connected drives with Windows, the operating system tends to generate boot partitions on additional drives. This can lead to issues if a drive encounters problems during startup, resulting in certain errors. Therefore, it's strongly advised to disconnect all drives except the one you intend to use as the root before installing Windows.
