    New Drive Not Being Able to Boot


    Recently I have decided to upgrade my C drive to a much larger drive. I used Macrium Reflect to clone my C drive over to the new drive E Drive and it looks like everything worked properly although I'm having trouble booting into it. When I try changing the boot device in BIOS the new drive E Drive won't show up as a bootable drive. I have tried changing any possible boot setting but none of them seem to allow the E drive to be booted into. When I check in Computer Management the new drive E Drive statues says Healthy Basic Data Partition although the old drive I'm trying to replace say

    Can't boot from new drive

    Thanks for the reply, but I'm not following you...

    • What are you suggesting I unplug? Other USB devices? Done, but made no difference. (Ethernet? Monitors? Don't think that'll help.)
    • Not sure I understand your partitioning advice?
    • Also unclear about SSD drivers; if there was a driver issue, wouldn't it had failed to work at all? (As mentioned, I am able to boot Windows from the new drive as long as the old one is still plugged in...and it works just fine as a secondary drive.)

    Some more suggestions



    - When you set a destination in drive, you should be able to set an address which is existing in the contact list
