[SOLVED] Disk cloning not fully working

[Yxargyz]

Hello, about a week ago I've got new (500GB) SSD, and I wanted to clone my old one (120GB) onto it, so I downloaded Macrium Reflect, and went through process and everything went good with no errors whatsoever, so I swapped old disk with new, and it seemed that it worked, windows booted correctly and everything was fine. But it seems that something went wrong, because every now and then when turning on computer it's not detecting disk, and it enters BIOS, and when looking at disks there it sees my HDD, and in place of SSD is blank spot, like it's detecting something but can't identify it, and to start computer I have to reboot it, and then it's working fine.
Any advice what can I do?

Go into the BIOS and be sure that the new SSD is in fact the boot drive.

Check the hdd and see if the primary partition is still active. If so windows will still try to boot from it. https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us...s-active/40f6d20b-1514-42b6-8b14-c7fc18c6324a

Active participation is set correctly.

In BIOS I can't set this disk as boot drive, because it's not on the boot order list, though it's on connected SATA list

"Active participation is set correctly" Confirm the hdd no longer contains the windows OS and there are no active partitions on the hdd?

HDD never held windows, it was on another SSD which is not in computer anymore

Okay, but you've yet to confirm there are no active partitions on the hdd.

There are no active partitions on hdd, only one active is on ssd and it's 100MB restricted by system partition

Perhaps disconnecting both the HDD and the SSD and only reconnecting the SSD, then booting/rebooting until the bios recognizes the SSD? at which point you can then make it the boot drive without a doubt.

When you cloned you cloned your old drive, did you make sure the new drive had the same format as the old drive?
