Hey fellow techies:
I'm in a huge rut. Just installed a new Evo 850 into my laptop and it's been working great! I've migrated all of my information via USB drive... except my high school summer assignments. The old hard drive worked perfectly fine and achieved high marks in CrystalDisk (it's only 2 years old anyways), but I just needed the extra speed. I left everything as it was on the old hard drive, but when I tried putting it back in my laptop to move the file, it wouldn't detect the OS. None of the BIOS settings were changed, the hard drive was securely mounted (even reinstalled the caddy) and I cleaned the contacts, but no go. Both storage devices have Windows 7 Installed on them, so it's not a matter of Legacy or UEFI toggles.
Any help is appreciated. The laptop is an HP EliteBook 840 G1
