Hi, I have installed Windows 10 on my new SSD and the windows works fine. When I connect my secondary HDD, Windows won't start. It shows 0xc000000e error code. I have to manually select the SSD on boot menu every time I restart. I checked my boot priority list and set to SSD and disabled the HDD from the boot menu. But no luck so far. When I disconnect the HDD Windows starts fine. No error codes. I know 0xc000000e error is usually the BCD issue but in this case it's probably the secondary hard drive. How can I resolve this please?
TIA

Hi,
I'm Sumit, here to answer your query at the Microsoft Community.
Typically, it happens due to boot order list. But as you have checked the same, It is possible that a BIOS Setting might be incorrectly set.
Can you please let me know if UEFI CSM option is enabled or disabled in BIOS?
If possible send Boot Settings screenshots - use your Phone’s Camera.
