Hi all! I'm trying to upgrade my old Win 10 system . It has a 250 GB SSD with the OS and apps and a 2 TB HDD with data and apps. I successfully cloned the SSD to a higher capacity SSD but am running into problems physically installing it.
I was able to remove the old SSD and connect it to the SATA cable which has several SATA connectors, a tight cramped procedure. Apparently I managed to unplug the HDD as when I booted up, the system ran but D drive was not identified.
I opened up the case again and tried to reattach the cable to the HDD but all the connectors came loose and when i tried to boot it, it wouldn't boot but stayed balck creen saying trying to boot from C.
It's possible in reassembling I pulled a cable again but am wondering if different SATA connectors from the cable assign disk priority and if that can be cahnged in BIOS. Also there are 2 connectors 1 for the longer pin array on the drive and 1 for the shorter and wonder if they need to match to work right.
Advice and gernal tips for keeping the stupid cables on would be very welcome!
