Hi All, I think there's a problem connecting external HDD with windows 8.1 installed on it to a pc with existing windows 8.1.
I've spent a week Investigating this problem and I'm pretty sure about the results, so please be patient reading this ..
I faced many problems with my pc, my windows crashes frequently because of my Raid Array was miss-configured or something like that. However, I decided to have an emergency external windows 8.1 installed on external HDD to boot from and not to waste my time.
I've managed to install 8.1 on the external HDD , booting from it , and every thing gone well.
lately I've managed to properly install 8.1 on my PC (internal HDD) and every thing is going well too Except The Following
Whenever I boot my pc from internal HDD, and connect the external HDD to transfer a file or get something from it, Windows 8 chrome search goes mad, and stops functioning , here are If-Then scenarios I face :
1) boot from internal HDD, reach desktop, then connect external HDD -> Search items disappear and i cannot find items like device manager, disk manager, and others (As shown in the attachments)
2) boot from internal HDD only and not connecting external HDD --> (every thing goes fine and chrome search works).
3) boot from internal HDD with external HDD connected, : I find search items but none of them is clickable !!.
So Waht's this !!?
Thanks All.
