SSD setup problems

[matt_hale]

I've just installed a Kingston 240gb SSD and migrated windows to it using the included software with the kingston bundle. It worked fine until when i actually boot with the SSD. If i boot with my WD green (where windows was originally saved) everything works fine. But with the SSD files are missing, programs don't have icons? I had backed up some files using EaseUS and that does not work when booting from the SSD so I can't recover the files from that.

I'm pretty stumped for ideas not and realy need help with this one
Thanks

Try it with your HDD disconnected.

If that works, then erase the system partition from the HDD in Disk Management.

Just tried that exactly the same problem, where most files/programs can't be accessed, The OS is on the SSD its when I boot up with it I can't access most files/programs that are stored onto other HDD's

Legal copy OS? If so, then I'd try the migration again and if that didn't work then I'd just do a clean OS install on the SSD - instead of using migration.

Yep my OS is a legal copy, Do you think I should wipe existing partions on any drives?

You can't till you get Windows working.

Windows is working properly when I boot from my WD green. But when I boot with my SSD programs and files are not working properly and not being recognised

Get windows working on your SSD first before deleting anything from your HDD

So i've cloned the OS to the SSD and it works but most icons are still missing but programs are now launching.

Sound like it was only partially successful.

Just the OS or the whole drive?

The SSD does have a partition, it has system reserved and the c: drive partition, all my programs are on other hard drives. It should just be the OS that's been cloned across i'm Acronis tune image HD that comes with the SSD bundle.
