I recently bought a new ssd and cloned my old ssd to it. I turned off the pc put the new ssd as new boot and disconnected the old ssd and the hdd to see if it would boot up with only the new ssd, which it did. So then i plugged the old ssd and hdd back and i wiped the old ssd from disk managment. Everything was fine until i restarted the pc and got 0xc00000e error code. I saw some youtube windows and installed windows installation media to follow the videos (told me to go to the cmd and write commands) nothing worked when i wrote the commands it said access denied. I tried reinstalling the windows while keeping the files it said it couldnt to that with the windows installation media from the flash drive. what do i do now?

by the way i cant get into the pc it wont let me. just into bios etc
 
Solution
I did the unplug everything bit and when i went to do the commands (in cmd) one of the commands bootrec /FixBoot it said access denied

Cloning is great, when it works properly.
When it does not, the best and fastest fix is to start over, usually with a clean install.

You can't try the clone again, because you wiped out the original drive.
