New hard drive gives a bios load error

[ShakeNBlake12]

Let me first say that I am not sure if this is the correct place to put this message. If there is a more appropriate place on the forums for this post, Please direct me.

I am currently using a Lenovo y510P and i am looking at getting an ssd to replace the hard drive. I have a samsung 850 evo in my desktop and I was going to put that in my laptop to see if adding an ssd would make as much of a difference as I wanted it to. When I put the ssd in and started up my laptop I was presented with an error message saying "bios load error". I am concerned because I am hoping that i would not get an error if i were to put a new ssd with a fresh install of windows on it. Does anybody know why i would get this error? I would not think that windows would matter too much because it was to do with the bios of the computer, but i am not the expert here.Any advice on the subject would be very appreciated.

if the bios saw a new drive it would error out and ask what drive you wanted to boot from. the other issues is did you bend any pins putting in the new drive. if you did then you could have shorted out the mb.

I do not believe i bent any pins because i put the old drive back in and everything worked as it did before.

Hi there ShakeNBlake12,

Go to BIOS and try to remove the SATA port from the boot order.
I don't see why you shouldn't be able to install an SSD in your laptop.

I will try this tomorrow. I forgot about going into the bios to disable that.
