Hello @denji1 

Sorry to hear that you are having problems ... I would like to help you.

I guess that your system partition (Windows drive C ) is located on disk SDD 256GB.

1TB HDD has 2 partitions ( D and E ), right ?

 

(1) Test your hardware Using the HP PC Hardware Diagnostics (UEFI)

--->>> Perform < ALL > tests

--->>> Focus on Component tests (drive / hdd) <<<---

https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/ish_2854458-2733239-16

See section <Running HP PC Hardware Diagnostics UEFI tests when Windows doesn't start>

 

See how it works:

(2) Please report your results ( error messages, take pictures )

( if serial number, device id, UUID, System Board CT Number is displayed, please blur )

 

Kind regards

Hello @denji1 

 

There is something wrong with the 1TB hard drive. Please open the notebook and check the hard drive connection. Connect the hard drive to another Windows computer as a test to see if it is recognized.

 

Kind regards
