This will not stand! The convenience of system cloning is going to work, people. NOTE: Enable AHCI/IDE/ATA mode on your system 2. Configure the USB/CD/DVD drive as the primary boot device in the BIOS. Please refer to the Make Bootable USB or Burn Bootable CD/DVD section for more information. Nb: techs and sysadmins 'net wide have one surefire cure for everything: Format and start again from scratch with a fresh install (and rebuild your system settings, histories, passwords yadda for a month afterwards). The following steps assume that all necessary files are present on the USB/CD/DVD disk. There's a few free tools where you can try to force it, but they seem risky so I want to check if I'm doing the right thing (like EasyBCD )ĭesired effect is the new SSD calls itself the C drive and boots from the OS that I cloned over to it. Booting from the bios results in an error and reccommends booting from the windows disk and repairing.īooting from the windows disk and trying to repair shows no installs of windows at all! (then proceeds to boot from the old C drive like nothing happened) Admin tools doesn't give you an option to make it a system drive. I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do next. Now I have all these extra partitions floating around that it cloned over. It looks alright data wise, but bios and windows (7) don't believe you can boot from it. So I pared down my boot drive and cloned it over (supposedly). I got a Samsung EVO, which seems pretty cool.
