I took one of my 3 drives and I install Windows 10 on it. If I do this I unplug the other drives and just leave the current drive plugged in I want to work on. Drive 1 = Android 5.1, Drive 2 = Windows 10 x64, Drive 3 = Windows 8.1 X86. When I boot into Windows 10 I can only see the C drive. When I access disc management it also lists one drive. When I boot into Windows 8.1 it shows all drives. Any idea what could be causing this? I used a Driver app that I normally use to update all drivers on my pc, think it is called Driverpack solutions, it's that opensource one.
 
if disk management is not showing your drives then I would blame the drivers try finding the correct chipset drivers for your board. Normally just installing the latest Intel chipset drivers would do.
 
Yeah my Windows 10 drive sort of failed now lol. Can see it in Windows 8.1 in My Computer, but can't access it. All the series and movies. :(
 
Had a similar issue this past weekend with a USB HDD, luckily in my case all I had to do was to switch it to a different USB slot, although both slots were in fact fine. I've read that Windows 10 has issues with some WD drives. What make is your HDD?

Moral of the story.
