| 1414883 | 2016-01-21 01:15:00 | HDD 1 has Win10. I down loaded WIN7 from MS and loaded it onto Drive 2. Boot from 10 recognizes HDD Z(storage). Boot from Win7 doesn't see Z. What can I do? | Bryan (147) | ||
| 1414884 | 2016-01-21 02:41:00 | Probably because you should install 7 then 10 and dont disconnect the hdds while you're doing it | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1414885 | 2016-01-21 03:13:00 | Check in disk management to see if the drive is visible, might just need a drive letter assigned to it. Be careful what you do in disk management though. | dugimodo (138) | ||

What can I do? well, cant see Z from here either: yep sarcasm. :) More info please No one knows what Z is . Is it a usb drive, a partition, a 3rd sata drive ,a NAS, an IDE drive(if IDE it might a slave/master issue), or a mapped network drive etc Is Z a partition on drive 1 or 2 ? Is it a partition on another drive ** It wont ever be Z untill you reassign the drive letter to be Z: , it will just be the next available letter otherwise (e,f,g etc) . Dugi's suggestion is allways the 1st step. |

| 1414887 | 2016-01-21 04:04:00 | Ok! Z is on its own SATA drive as a single partition. It was D: but I wanted D: to be Win7. I use EasyBCD to select the bootable drives. To me this purely academic because I will use WIN 10 as my main OS. I just wondered why Win7 can't see Z: | Bryan (147) | ||
| 1414888 | 2016-01-21 04:15:00 | Have you got EasyBCD on Win 7 installed on Win 7 as well? Pay to see if it can be seen from both sides,have windows 10 as well as 8.1 and both can be seen on either |
