Windows 10 Stuck At Loading Screen After Adding HDD

recently I added a secondary WD Blue 320GB HDD to my system to accompany my Seagate 320GB drive. After I added the WD drive to my system I can no longer boot into windows, I just get stuck on the black loading screen with the Windows logo and the white spinny dots. If I unplug the secondardy WD drive it works flawlessly.



Have Tried:




  • Different SATA ports on MOBO

  • Accessing the recovery menu after 3 failed boots, but if I click anything the screen goes black.

  • Removing CMOS Battery


PC Specs:



CPU: C2Q Q6600

GPU: GT 710

RAM: 4GB DDR2

MOBO: GIGABYTE GA-G31M-ES2C (REV 1.0)

HDD 1: Seagate Momentus Thin 320GB 7200RPM

HDD 2: WD Blue 320GB 7200RPM

  • Try the disk on another computer. It might be dead-on-arrival.

  • I have had the disk for quite a while and have used it in another build. I know it works perfectly fine, it shows up in the BIOS and everything.

When does type information flow backwards in C++?

Image
up vote 62 down vote favorite 19 I just watched Stephan T. Lavavej talk at CppCon 2018 on "Class Template Argument Deduction", where at some point he incidentally says: In C++ type information almost never flows backwards ... I had to say "almost" because there's one or two cases, possibly more but very few . Despite trying to figure out which cases he might be referring to, I couldn't come up with anything. Hence the question: In which cases the C++17 standard mandates that type information propagate backwards? c++ language-lawyer c++17 share | improve this question edited 7 hours ago scohe0
