Question Computer won't load into Windows using SSD

[cdoggy0]

Hi there! I've been using my secondary PC at my Dad's house for a while now, and am trying to get some more speed out of it, as the laptop HDD I've been using just isn't do the trick.

Using my old 120gb SSD, I thought I could get some more speed. I've used Macrium reflect to clone my data, and after booting, it says it ran into an issue booting into the OS. I'm on a Phenom II X4 980 CPU and a GA-870A-USB3 Motherboard with a PNY 120gb SSD

At what stage does it state there's an error?

Is it actually attempting to boot into the OS and failing?
If it's not even attempting to boot Windows, you may not have cloned all the partitions - boot partitions are required too, not just the "C" drive.

it says it ran into an issue booting into the OS.

Precise error message please.

It comes up "Loading Operating System" and then gives me an error. I'll post the precise error message once I get home, if you need it.

Precise error message please.

“A disk read error occurred”

“A disk read error occurred”

This means - damaged storage device.
Run chkdsk on the drive. Check health of the drive with HDtune health.
You may need to replace it.

I ran both chkdsk and HDtune on the drive, both said it was in good health
