My dilemma is that now I'm not sure how to boot off of it because although all of the windows files are on it windows still recognizes my old drive that I cloned as my boot drive.

Solution O O ohiou_grad_2006 Jan 8, 2015 Unhook your old drive, leave the ssd plugged in, boot from your windows disk and run startup repair which may fix it automitcally.
