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,

No. Please see pic

OK I have swopped the SSDs and reinstalled Windows. Odd thing now is that I cannot see my hard drive though it is listed in Device Manager. Any clues?

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

I have no idea. I simply asked someone at PCS if it was possible for me to use the spare slot for running Windows as I needed additional space, and if they could suggest a suitable SSD. They supplied the INTEL one. I asked if I should swop the SSDs to place the new one in slot 1 and was...

It was purchased from PCS. I cannot imagine to they would do other than buy SSDs in. Thanks for your help anyway.

Actually - I have set the unallocated area as simple and formatted it assigning it a disk E which I can see. It does provide me with 119 GB useable space so should I leave it as it is?

Thankyou. Have now installed Windows on to the new Drive 2. I have a couple of remining problems if you wouldn't mind helping me again. Please see Disc Management screen capture below. 1 I can no longer see Disk 0 using File Explorer 2. I am left with two partitions on the drive which ideally...

Well it seems it wasn't such a naive question after all. Thank you for the clarification. I've installed Windows before into a new machine, but please humour me further and check if I fully understand what to do i this case. 1. Disk Management shows my new drive as Disk 2. 2. There doesn't...
