17 R4, reinstalling Windows 10
I had to reinstall windows. Before the re-install my ssd was the c: drive and the regular drive was the d: drive. After the reinstall the ssd is now the d: drive. Not sure what I did wrong or how to fix it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you did a clean installation then you would have come to a part where you have to select the boot drive. If you did it this way then it sounds like you selected the wrong drive to install Windows on. You will have to start the installation process again and format the SSD and select it for the installation.
If you formatted the HDD before the previous installation then you have lost any data that was on it. If you just selected it without formatting then you should be able to get your data back. You just need to install Windows on the SSD and change the boot order in the BIOS to the SSD as you will now have two drives capable of loading Windows. Then you can go into your HDD and delete all the Windows files.
