| 1448935 | 2018-04-28 03:46:00 | Thanks Clive. I have replaced the data cable and it now appears. I hope I do not have to come back on this again, time will tell! | Bryan (147) | ||

Generally if it doesn't its because the wrong key is being tapped, or not quick enough. On Some motherboards you can change the time allowed to enter. One board I have here you have about 5 seconds from pressing the power other wise you need to start again. | wainuitech (129) | ||

| 1448938 | 2018-04-28 04:05:00 | My old C: is in the Channel 0 and SSD is in !. I see when I cloned the SSD the reserved partition is 502mb and the old reserved partition is 500mb. When I remove cables to the old system disk that's when I seem to get the problems. Should I change the channel cables on the motherboard? | Bryan (147) | ||
| 1448939 | 2018-04-28 05:10:00 | Old HDD is also Serial ATA? I've switched my drives around different SATA ports on the motherboard after having my last system for nearly 10yrs one of them went faulty. I've had no issues with that over some months of use. Windows might see the drive on a different SATA port, but I just went to Disk Management and changed the drive letter back. It's stayed that way ever since for some months. |

When I remove cables to the old system disk that's when I seem to get the problems. Should I change the channel cables on the motherboard? Sounds like the boot loader is still using the Old Drive. Which means the clone wasn't 100%. When it goes as it should EVERYTHING should be copied over. In old terminology, the boot loader is missing from the SSD. What you can try -- Disconnect the Old Drive, boot from the Windows DVD/USB drive, see if the auto fix will work, other wise install something like AOMEI Partition Assistant, make a bootable CD and boot from that, tell it to Rebuild MBR. Youu could also manually rebuild it but may or may not work ? www.disk-partition.com I just changed this PC over to a SSD ( WD 250GB to try them) used AOMEI Backupper to clone the drive, with the option to SSD, and it booted perfectly right away, and Noticeably faster :) |

| 1448941 | 2018-04-28 06:35:00 | Thank you wainuitech. Tried your suggestion but it did not work. Just maybe the MS major update in May might fix things. | Bryan (147) | ||
| 1448942 | 2018-04-28 06:58:00 | I've also managed to use easyBCD from inside windows to repair missing bootloaders - which is a rare situation, being able to boot while having a bootloader issue. In my case it was a fresh install where windows had put some files on an old drive I forgot to disconnect. The options are under BCD Backup/Repair. |

To be blunt-- The next update wont make a world of difference. The key information given is When I remove cables to the old system disk that's when I seem to get the problems This means the Boot is being handled by the Old Drive, not the New. To knock it back to even more basic, If the boot sequence and drive was copied correctly, the New SSD would boot exactly the same as the old drive (on its own) only be quicker due to being a SSD. As mentioned did the exact same here -- Had a 500GB Std mechanical drive, connected the drive Via a SATA Cable ( and power of course) cloned it using software as previous post, turned off the PC removed the STD 3.5" drive put in the SSD where the Original drive was, plugged in the SATA and power cable, hit the on switch, booted right away ( only a lot quicker). What CAN give problems is if the SSD drive is connected VIA USB, cloned, then connected to SATA = Rasspppppppp ;) |
