Thank you for your assistance and patience.

In the meantime I went ahead and installed Windows onto the new disk in the second slot and everything went fine. I have attached a scree capture of Disk Management.

I have replaced the hard drive and swapped over the two SSDs and in starting the installation I can see 3 drives?? The new SSD is showing as drive 2 so I have selected this. I'll let you know how it goes.

I have taken the hard drive out, placed it is a carriage and plugged it into another machine and it works. Problem is I see it contains Windows!!! I'm sure I chose drive 0 for the installation but I will have to do it again. However, why is it I can only see 1 of the two SSDs?

In the screen capture \\I can see a 500GB drive. My hard drive is 500GB, but if this is the drive in question, why can I not see the two SDD in ) an 1?

Just noticed on Disk Management that I have Disk 0 and Disk 1 when previously the 2 Drive was Disk 2 Disk 1 was the hard drive.

Just checked and it seems fine.

as requested,

Thank you. I'll give it some consideration; having spent the past two days reinstalling everything.
