Windows 10: Can't boot into my existing SSD Windows 11

Hey there So I had 2 Windows 11 dual booted. Eventually i ended up formatting one of the windows 11 drive and then fresh installing the windows 11. But now I cannot boot into my second Windows 11 which is installed in separate SSD Volume 6. And the new window 11 Volume 4 as of i think is installed in a 320 gb of hard disk. How to get the Dual boot startup screen?

But now I cannot boot into my second Windows 11 which is installed in separate SSD (Volume 6). And the new window 11 (Volume 4 as of i think) is installed in a 320 gb of hard disk.

Unable to boot Windows after cloning it to SSD

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I understand that you are facing issues while booting the PC after cloning Windows to new SSD. I would like to know what happens when you try to boot the PC to desktop using SSD?



The reason you are not able to boot the PC is that the files required to boot Windows are still recognizing the HDD as the main drive. I would suggest you to try rebuilding the BCD files and see if you are able to boot the PC using
SSD.



Kindly follow the steps below to rebuild the BCD.

1. Create a bootable media and boot the PC using the media.
2. On the Install Windows screen, select Next >
   Repair your computer.
3. On the System Recovery Options screen, select
   Troubleshoot> Advanced options > Command Prompt.
4. Now type in the commands and hit enter: BOOTREC /FIXMBR
   
   BOOTREC /FIXBOOT
   
   BOOTREC /scanos
   
   BOOTREC /rebuildbcd
5. Restart the PC.

If the issue persists, please get back to us with the results of the troubleshooting steps to assist you further.
