Re: Hard drive quandry


[re: Banger] [link to this post]
 
Never tried it but this link seems to offer some simple resolutions:-
http://www.boyans.net/dual-boot-repair-windows-10.html
There are other command line ways but this may be the easiest.
What did Windows10 think your SSD was then?
In My Computer right click drive>Properties>Tools>Optimise>
It�ll show a list of drives and there is a column called Media Type
It should say Solid state drive, but it will still show that it will be �optimised�
A standard hard disk drive will show as fragmentation
It's most unusual for Windows 10 not to recognise it. Not uncommon in earlier versions.

Forgot that one, as most of my pc's are uefi which it doesn't support.
Good little program which can also give you a Safe Mode option in the boot menu.

Solved with rogers link. Now have XP, win 10 32 bit and win 10 x64 triple boot back in a gui boot menu.

Trim is on according to HD Sentinel, and optimize media type is SSD but it says last optimized on etc. Wonder if it is because I cloned the disk.

Possibly something got carried over from the clone regarding the hard disk info. But seems all ok now. Just make sure that optimisation is included in the maintenance schedule now it's recognised correctly.

Good tip, when I press optimize it says trimming drive. Have re-enabled all drive maintenance.
