SSD 450 evo doesn't boot after data migration with easeUS.

[Andry GR]

Hello, i wanted to upgrade my pc from HDD to SSD so i used easeUS since the samsung data migration software gave errors. Data migration went fine but when i switched the HDD with SSD and tried to boot the pc it didn't work and asks me to insert a repair disk. I don't want to do a clean windows reinstall but i would like to solve the problem, could you help me please?

Did you try going into your bios settings, and changing the boot priority to boot from the SSD first?
(To open the bios, it is most likely the esc or del key at power on)

Hi and thanks for your fast reply, could you give me some proper instruction to follow? that would be really helpful

Do you know how to access your bios? It would most likely tell you which key to press after you've powered on your pc. If not which PC model do you have?

Hi, i changed the boot priority from BIOS but i get the same error, i'll attach the screenshot http://i57.tinypic.com/dpjsr8.jpg

I see. Does your bios options have a sata configuration option somewhere? If yes, press enter on it and change from IDE to AHCI mode. Save settings, reboot and it could work

It's already setted to AHCI, i tried to changed it to IDE but getting the same error..

No, it is ok at that setting. If you have the other hard drive in, take it out and reboot with only the SSD and see if that error still comes up

Contrary to your original post, I think the only way is to transfer the files from your ssd to an external drives and do a fresh install of windows on that ssd

It's a laptop so the SSD is the only one connected, i want to evade a fresh installazioni due to my saved programma and settings that i would lose..

I bookmarked this one guide from a reputable website that covers that. Check it out here:

Sorry if I couldn't solve your problem, I'll think about another solution and in the meantime, I hope someone could help you fix it.
