    PC needs old SSD to Boot or else "PC/Device Needs to be repaired"


    Greetings. Recently I got a new SSD since the previous one which was 6 years old was close to deterioration, and I proceed with cloning the old disk and all of its content inside the new SSD using Macrium Reflect, and I could see the result the first day as I managed to boot into the pc after making the new SSD the c drive even by checking by deleting a file in the desktop and checking from the Explorer.Exe in both drive to locate the right one.after everything was verified, I proceed to clean the old drive to use it as a cache dump until it stopped working.The following day, I was hit by the

    Automatic repair while booting from hdd and installing windows on ssd.

    1. Migrated windows from hdd to ssd
    2. Formatted hdd
    3. Prioritised boot from ssd in bios
    4. Turned on the pc
    5. Automatic repair

    To deal with this I select boot from a device > then EFI USB device > it says no bootable USB detected, select from these drives > there are few options including the newly installed ssd > I select ssd > then it shows disk checking, press any key to stop > I stop it > windows then boots from ssd.

    It very difficult to repeat all this everytime I turn on my pc. Please suggest a fix.

    New ssd won't boot up without old ssd attached to pc - new ssd only has one partition

    Only the old ssd is listed in the boot order as the new ssd doesn't have an MBR partition.

    The pc recognizes both devices as connected (and I use the new ssd for more than a year with windows installed on it) it just doesn't have the necessary partition for booting up, thats why the ssd doesn't show up as an option in the boot order.

    New ssd won't boot up without old ssd attached to pc - new ssd only has one partition

    Hi Igor,

    Thank you for looking into my problem.
    I'm sorry, here you go:

    Sadly the new ssd doesn't show up as a boot option in the boot order in BIOS, the only boot options are old ssd with the MBR partition (and bootable usb when plugged in). The new ssd is listed as a coupled device though, but not listed as a boot-option.

    I did try the Repair (not install) option using the bootable usb (while the old ssd is removed, new ssd is still plugged in) but Windows notified that the repair procedure couldn't fix the problem.

    Is there a way to get a 2nd partition on the new ssd, destined for booting it (just like the old ssd has)? (without formatting the new ssd and doing a clean reinstall of windows)

    Kind regards,

    Marnix
