Cloned an old SSD drive onto M2 and wont boot

[stevensurrey]

Hi All,

I made a duplicate of a SSD from a old HP to a new M2 on a Asus using Macrium (The M2 came with the ASUS and was cleaned first in Diskpart )

When i boot the Asus up now it just takes me to the Bios and cant find a drive to boot from - The Bios does see the M2 1Gig in storage

The M2 Shows on another pc via usb cradle as well

The copy went through 100% and its all new kit so cant seem to work out where its gone wrong

In the boot menu shows no bootable devices but does if put in a windows 10 usb recovery pen

I even put in the windows boot usb to to a dummy installation and it found the drives and partitions on the M2 to install on so the M2 is fine and being discovered

Any help would be great as i am sure its just a setting maybe

in another recent thread, a user had a similar issue.
see here; https://pchelpforum.net/t/cloned-har...ot-boot.75478/

basically, the old drive was MBR but Macrium marked the new on as GPT.
see if this applies to your issue.

For some reason that didn’t work for me

Same issue

Try booting the pc with the Macrium boot media & running repair boot files. This is found under other options iirc.
