I installed a new SSD into my pc ( Samsung 970 evo plus). I tried to make the Samsung SSD the boot drive but cannot seem to get this to work. I either get a blue screen saying something is not connected or it needs to be repaired. Or if I go into BIOS and switch to boot from new SSD, I get a black screen saying it is not a bootable drive and to connect a bootable drive or bootable media. The weirdest thing is... when I go into BIOS and select to boot from my old SSD, it boots up fine! But from startup without going into BIOS screen it just gives me the blue screen and if I go into BIOS and switch to new SSD it gives me the black screen. I have formatted the old SSD and tried to delete the partitions. I check on disk management and it says the new Samsung SSD is the boot drive, but for some reason I am unable to delete one of the partitions on the old SSD, and for some reason boot only works through old SSD through BIOS screen.
When I first formatted the old SSD and deleted one of the partitions, I was able to restart the PC and have no issue with the boot. Then on my second restart I ran into the blue screen and then the black screen again. I really am unsure of what to do and just want to be able to boot from the new SSD.
Should I just fully disconnect the old SSD from the motherboard? If I do that will I not run into the blue screen or black screen? I am just worried if I remove it I will still run into the screen saying the new SSD is not a bootable drive.. at that point would I have to reinstall windows from a usb again?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
