Hi,

I know the cause of the problem.

I installed a Win 10 on another HDD and at the same time my rig OS SSD is connected to the motherboard.

I should've removed the main SSD and connected the HDD I want to install a copy of Win 10 and then returned my main SSD.

Then when I removed the HDD, I started to get this error.

When I press enter:

Then I'm forced to press F9 to continue to Win 10 and then I get this window:

It's obvious the the ghost of the HDD is missing and my main OS in the SSD went to Volume 4.


How to solve this problem ?
 
You borked the boot loader. Try repairing it from windows (F1), then Troubleshoot and Startup Repair.

Looks like that! I think it's a boot loader error, because it's before the kernel can load, IIRC, likened to a GRUB rescue prompt. That would be the Windows 10 version of a GRUB error.
 
I tried the solutions of using command prompt using windows copy in usb but didn't work.

I decided to install a new copy of windows and that's it, I thought the solution would be easy but critical actions didn't work.

You're right. I by mistake installed the windows copy on the old windows partition, without formatting all windows partitions. So I got the same problem.

I had to go back, erase all windows partitions, and install a new one.
