It then said, “windows cannot be installed on this drive, it is in MPR format, EFI systems need windows to install on a GPT format drive.” for BOTH of my hard drives. The PC said “which drive would you like to install windows on?” I clicked the drive that already had windows, then I clicked format to erase it and re-install windows, and formatted my other hard drive too to attempt to fix the other problem i was having with the HDD. I then went to re-install windows to the hard drive that i had already downloaded a copy of Windows 10 OS to. Then upon installation I clicked repair my computer>troubleshoot> then attempted a start up repair and the pc said it could not be done. When I booted the PC up I force booted the flash drive that contained the installation media via the UEFI BIOS settings. I believe whatever i did to my hard drives caused this either the Radeon software may have done it. I dont know why, but i never tried unplugging any drives that did not contain an OS. So, what i did is I plugged my windows 10 installation media back in (a USB flash drive i had bought from best buy, Windows 10 Home). When restarting, the computer said "Windows couldn’t find an operating system, try disconnecting any drives that dont contain an operating system". Then I downloaded drivers for my MOBO and Radeon graphics card, and the computer prompted a restart, so I restarted it. So i just left it alone after that to figure out later. Built a new computer as a fun project for the first time, very new to doing all this stuff. Had windows 10 home 64 bit running fine on it, installed on an m.2 SSD. checked for windows updates and made sure everything was updated. Then messed around with drive partitions, made sure my hard drives were "acive" and made sure all the drives had allocated space, my HDD was not allowing me to create new simple volume for a portion of the drive, the 3TB hard disk drive had 2TB of allocated space and about 800 Gbs unallocated space, it showed that the "create new simple volume", "extend volume", "shrink volume" buttons were greyed out, I then extended the "system recovery portion" volume to the 2Tb of the hard disk drive that would allow me to create new simple volume on it, and the drive still wouldnt allow me to create new simple volume on the 800Gb portion.
