Windows 10: Boot problem after replacing system disk

I've just upgraded the system disk on my main PC from a 1TB SSD to a 2TB one. Everything was working fine beforehand, but now the PC will only boot if I go into the BIOS boot menu and select the new SSD to boot from.

Both SSDs are Samsung, so I used the Samsung Data Migration Software to clone the 1TB disk onto the 2TB one.

If I leave the 1TB drive connected, the PC will boot using that, but if I disconnect it I get a "System failed to start" bluescreen, unless as mentioned above I hit F8 to enter the boot menu.

The motherboard is an Asus Z87-Pro, and I suspect that there may be something in the BIOS that needs to be changed, but I'm not sure what. Any suggestions?

Windows 10 1709 System Restore problems...

That seems to be an attempt at Option 2 in the tutorial, which requires you to
a. Boot to a command prompt (Did you?)
b. You then seem to be mixing steps 3,4 and 5, thus your command is incorrect.

I suggest Option 1 is easier.

If you still have problems, please repost listing each specific step and saying which option from the tutorial you are using. Thanks.

 

System boot-disk problem

Hi,

Just to clarify, you are facing an issue booting the system, is that correct?

If so, I suggest you to try performing a startup repair using the installation media and check if it helps.

Startup Repair is a Windows recovery tool that can fix certain system problems that might prevent Windows from starting. Startup Repair scans your computer for the problem and then tries to fix it so your computer can start correctly.

• Connect the installation media to your nonfunctional PC, and then turn it on.
• 
  On the initial setup screen, enter your language and other preferences, and then select
  Next. If you're not seeing the setup screen, your PC might not be set up to boot from a drive. Check your PC manufacturer's website for info on how to change your PC's boot order, and then try again.
  
• 
  Select Repair your computer.
  
• 
  On the Choose an option screen, select Troubleshoot >Advanced options >Startup repair
  

If that doesn't help, select Command prompt in the windows recovery environment window and proceed with the steps provided below:

Type these following commands and hit enter after each line of command:

Bootrec /fixmbr

Bootrec /fixboot

Bootrec /scanos

Bootrec /rebuildbcd

Let us know the result, we will be glad to help if you need further assistance.

 

laptop doesnt boot automatically

This is what happened.

1. Did a repair install and later disabled hibertnate in CMD.
2. Enabled legacy option ROM in BIOS.
3. After a few times startup ( i used the system in such mode for 5 days), changed boot option back to default.
4. Vola!! It boots automatically to win10 without any keypress. Tested it with many starts to confirm the same.
5. Re-enabled hibernate option using CMD and later selected Fast Startup.
6. System booted normally, without the need for any keypress.

I do not know exactly whether such steps resolved the problem or what else happened, hence cannot suggest above steps.

Many thanks to all members who helped to troubleshoot problems.
