Hi,

I have just bought a 512 SSD to replace my 128 SSD, i have used Acronis to do a clone of my old HDD to my New HDD, however i realise that my PC strangely boots from my existing HDD and den runs off the windows operating system from my old ssd.

So now the problem is my pc recognizes the HDD as the primary boot but at the same time requires my SSD to successfully boot into windows.

By replacing my SSD, windows does not recognise it and is unable to boot successfully.

Does anybody have any experience whereby strangely the main boot up files are in the HDD while the rest of the operating system is in the SSD.

I am sure currently my windows run off my SSD due to the speed and under my computer its shows C: in the SSD.

During Boot up time , go inside the motherboard bios and in the boot up selection , just select your new ssd as the 1st boot device and save and exit and restart the computer again.

This is a case of setting up OS installation without disconnecting secondary drive.
