No, that is NOT a clone.
Give us some details.
Size/make/model of all drives involved.
How much space is consumed on the original C drive?
If you return the system back to original config, without the new drive, does it boot up?
original H/D is a 1T seagate new SSD is a evo 970 1T System boots but takes a fair while ,that's why I checked the bios the other day the seagate is ST31000528AS which appears to be the boot drive .and ST1000DM010-EP102. Weird thing is on boot up it looks in the CD drive?

If the system runs with ONLY the original drive connected, we can redo this clone, properly.
So...does it run like that?
Please show us a screencap of the Disk Management window.

Hi
As the drives do not have their maker listed it's a little hard to work our ,but I would reckon New volume F is lightly to be the M2 drive as it is the only other 1T drive .
d drive is my CD drive E drive has several Backup sets on it and D drive both partions are MT

You only "cloned" the C drive, the boot files are on the 100mb efi partition (first partition on the first disk)
You can run easybcd and create(deploy) a bcdstore and an MBR on volume E (the cloned drive) load said bcdstore and add volume E to it's boot menu. You should read a few guides on easybcd before you try this, if you screw things up you could end up with a system that doesn't boot at all anymore.
So you should make a windows installation media USB/DVD, with your exact version of windows, so you have a way to repair your windows and get back into it.

He didn't even do that. Just a "copy".
Which quite likely left off multiple hidden folders.
The only way to get this to a real running state is a proper clone.
Or a fresh OS install on the new drive.

Except in the title, I don't see where he said he used MR.
Without knowing the exact steps taken, I'd recommend just redoing it completely.

OK...your C drive is one of the 2 Seagate HDDs?
Your DM windows is showing that C drive as to be 96% full. About 900GB actual consumed space.
For a proper successful clone, that consumed space MUST be below 800GB.
Not sure what you did, but it wasn't a "clone".
