I formatted my HDD after I did a windows install on my SSD and configured the boot to go from the SSD when everything booted up and I checked my computer I now have 4 partitions? C: D: E: and G:? D: and G: are both "System Reserved" and only have 99.9MB

I unplugged my HDD and everything booted correctly? should I worry about it? what are these?

Change the boot order in bios.

I did change it to my SSD, it won't let me pick my HDD and a secondary though not sure why? everything seems to be working fine though?

What motherboard?

Next time.... when you need to install Windows, just "unhook" any other "drives" in the computer.

lol I should of, thats why i tried booting up windows with my HDD unhooked and it worked

my MOBO is an old ASRock FM2A75 Pro4-M

You can just hide the 'system reserve' partitions from showing through disk manager.

Or just read what you're clicking on when partitioning the drives.

I didn't click on anything except the SSD to install windows on, I like how you can criticize me but can't provide any useful knowledge

windows 10 makes 4 partitions by default i believe.
1 for os 1 for system reserve 1 for recovery 1 EFI boot partition

as rikuo said hide the other partitions via windows.
as to why its not booting when the other drives install idk
