No results is good news

I was searching for any discussion of problems awaiting me after I make what I considered a problematic change to a computer[1]. I couldn't find much. Then it dawned on me: I don't find any discussions of problems, because there are no problems. It seems quite probable that nobody writes at length about a lack of problems during a straightforward if a bit obscure procedure.

Inability to find information is information in itself—a nonissue message.

Footnote [1]. I had been planning to remove the Windows C drive. The system's files are on the D drive, it only had been booting from C, and I had copied the necessary files to D. I suspected (wrongly) that the primary partition D will be reassigned to the letter C, making the system unusable. Update Sept.5: Maybe that's because C had been the sole IDE drive and D the sole SATA drive? God knows!!
