I recently installed a MX500 SSD to my PC that has a 1.5 TB hard drive for Windows 10. Everything went well when I installed it. I could switch the boot from the SSD to the Hard drive after I finished. Today, I wanted to boot back to the SSD to download something. When I went into BIOS to select the SSD to boot, the system went into the “Preparing Automatic Repair” loop. I restarted and tried booting from the hard drive and it did the same thing. I tried about everything to boot my computer from the original hard drive that was working fine right before this happened. Nothing is working.
