Hey there, so I’ve spent like 15 hours so far trying to fix this problem so im pretty tired and over it and need some help with what should be a simple ass 20 minute task.
So on my PC I purchased a new SSD for larger storage being the 860 EVO 500GB by Samsung. I cloned my data over from the original WD Green 120GB SSD I had using Macrium Reflect.
The system would boot fine with both SSD’s connected and booting from the WD Green SSD and I could access both drives but I was unable to boot from the cloned 860 EVO SSD. The screen would just remain black.
I tried booting with both ssd’s connected, with and with just the 860 but no luck. The whole idea of upgrading the storage was so that I could use the 500GB as my main drive, so I looked into it further and for some reason read something about changing my C drive (the WD Green drive) in the registry to change the letter to something else, I think I changed it to A or something. I tried this, restarted, and now I cannot boot at all. Both drives get stuck on the startup screens no matter which one I boot from.
I would really appreciate some help with this and thanks for reading.
