Asus Q302L won’t boot with new SSD

[spoonula]

I decided to replace my laptop HDD with a Kingfast 240 GB SSD. The problem is that when I put the drive in my laptop, my laptop won’t boot anything, not even a boot cd or flash drive. All the bios settings look ok: secure boot is off and legacy bios is enabled. When I put the old HDD in, everything works again. I’ve tried leaving the SDD blank, and I’ve tried cloning my HDD to the SDD. What is going on, and can I fix it?

Are you using Windows 10? if so then you need to switch back to UEFI boot and not legacy boot.

So I disabled legacy boot and it’s still not working. Is there anything else that I should try?

reset your BIOS to defaults

This did not work, either.

And your issue is that the usb drive won't boot? Have you tried to manually boot from it using the boot options menu at startup?
