Hello, this is the issue: windows 7 stuck at loading screen.

The history: pc came in for bigger boot disk installation, about 2 weeks ago. it had 60gb ssd boot disk AND 1T hdd with just files.
All windows folders were installed on the ssd, but wanted more space for program files. I bought a 120 gb sdd, i made a backup from the small ssd and restored it on the big one (using Redo). Tested everything, with and without the 1TB HDD connected, everything worked swimmingly.

The real problem: now here's the issue, it are very important files (lawyer) and with both disks connected, it's stuck at loading screen (wants to do a startup repair but fails). When I only connect the ssd it does see the disk in boot menu, but as soon as I start booting from it, it seems like it doesn't find any disk at all and goes on searching for MAC adress..

The weird part: when I swap the new big ssd with the old small ssd so that everything is as it was before the history, it has the same problem....
 
Was the 60GB SSD a boot disk or was it a SSD cache disk (and the HDD the actual boot disk)?

Also, searching for a MAC address indicates the system is trying to boot from the network. Disable that in the BIOS unless that is desired.
