Hello everyone,
I just bought a new HDD as a replace for my main one which has Windows 7 on it. I cloned the old HDD to the new HDD using Macrium Reflect. Everything copied just fine, partitions were made, the drive works fine. But, as soon as I plug out the old HDD and use the new HDD as the boot drive, it simply won't let me into the new HDD which containts Windows on it. (note: I did set that driver as the main boot drive, tried switching from UEFI to Legacy boot mode)
Now , there's one thing that I noticed. In My computer screen it shows the main Windows boot files partition which is ~350MB large, and I'm free to open the partition and look at it's files. That doesn't really appear normal to me (the old drive doesn't show that partition, but it's there in Disk Management).
I know that I could install a new copy of Windows, but it doesn't seem practical because I'm planning to get a SSD soon and then install a new copy of Windows.
Specs:
Asus H61m C
8GB DDR3
i5 3470
old WD10EZEX 1TB
new WD10EZEX 1TB
Thanks in advance.
