Problem - ssd as boot drive with win 7 and sshd as boot drive for win10

[rogerwilker]

I have windows 7 on a ssd and it works fine. I installed windows 10 on a hdd and they work fine together for dual booting. No problems.

However, decided to clone the win10 to a sshd so as loading it would be faster than the hdd. I cloned the hhd to the sshd. Attempted to boot the system.
BIG PROBLEM.

When I boot the desktop, select windows 10, I get an error message:
"PC/Device needs to be repaired.
A required device isn't connected or can't be accessed.
Error code 0x000000e

Need to use recovery tools.

Press enter to try again.
(when I do, nothing happens)
Press F8 for startup settings.
(When I do, nothing happens)
Press F9 to use different O/S.
(WHEN I DO, SYSTEMS BOOTS INTO WINDOWS 7 LOCATED ON THE SSD)

I also tried the same thing with windows 8.1 on the sshd. Same results.
Spoke to Seagate tech support said drive was bad. I exchanged the drive. Get the same results.

Update: Problem solved!!!!

Thanks to billbartuska at overclock.net. He provided this response to the problem.

"When you install Win 10 it installs it's boot loading scheme (different that Win 7's).

So, when you cloned the Win 10 to a different drive you fubarred it's boot loading scheme (it was no longer on the drive that the OS thinks it's on) hence the error messages. They are useless because the computer has no idea what you've actually done,

Go to MS and read about BCDedit.

Then download EASYbcd and fix your problem. (There's a free version)."

Running EASYbcd fixed the problem.

Thanks for sharing resolution. I may try this next time I have to clone a Windows 8 or Windows 10 drive as I usually have boot issues after I do this.
