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.

Probability when a professor distributes a quiz and homework assignment to a class of n students.

0 0 $begingroup$ Need help with this problem. Suppose our lazy professor collects a quiz and a homework assignment from a class of n students one day, then distributes both the quizzes and the homework assignments back to the class in a random fashion for grading. Each student receives one quiz and one homework assignment to grade. (a) What is the probability that every student receives someone else's quiz to grade, and someone else's homework to grade? (b) What is the probability that no student receives both their own quiz and their own homework assignment to grade? In this case, some students may receive their own quiz, and others may receive their own homework assignment. (c) Compute the limiting probability as n approaches infinity in each case. ...
