Asus GL752VWDH71.1 laptop.
I migrated my W10 OS to a SSD drive
(SAMSUNG 850 EVO M.2 2280 250GB SATA III 3-D Vertical Internal SSD Single Unit Version MZ-N5E250BW ),
with no major problems and the setup performs well. But I have a boot problem.
Every few boots, the BIO defaults to the secondary hard drive.
Then the laptop is stuck in 'Fix mode' until I do a restart and enter BIOS and set the boot back to the SSD.
Then a while later, it does it again.
The one thing I noticed is that the original HDD has a 'EFI' partition, same as the SSD drive.
I'm guessing that is causing the problem.
The 1TB HDD was reformatted and just contains data.
I know that's a protected partition on the HDD, but DISKPART can likely work with it.
But I don't want to reformat the whole drive, just eliminate this EFI partition.
There is no OS on the HDD, it's all on the SSD.
The question is can I eliminate the HDD EFI partition without messing up the boot or system?
And is that likely causing the boot errors?
I can backup the data on the HDD to a USB 3.0 drive as I don't want to lose it. But that would be a PITA.
Thanks.
