Hi,
I wanted to upgrade an Asus Vivobook 17 laptop from Seagate Mobile HDD 1TB ST1000LM035 to SSD, but got into boot problems with the ssd not booting (I suspect missing drivers).
So I decided to put back the HDD, but to my surprise the disk won't spin any more. BIOS displays "the system cannot find any bootable devices".
The HDD does spin if connected via SATA/USB cable (i can also mount its contents on another machine). I also reinitialised BIOS settings to defaults (F9), but that doesn't help.

But in my case I'm re-adding the same disk that was shipped with the laptop. All was working fine before the ssd cloning attempt.
I'm confused as to what the issue may be?
