Hello everyone.
Yesterday I received my new SSD. After plugging it in I made sure to edit the boot order to boot my regular SSD (with Windows 10 on it). Despite booting my regular SSD I still got the 'Reboot and Select proper Boot Device' message. After a long string of failed attempts of fixing it, I decided to install Windows on my new SSD to see if I could at least access the files on my old SSD. Turns out I can and all the files are still on there. Running Crystal Disk tells me everything is fine with the SSD.
(Is there anything else I can from my new SSD to check the status of my old SSD and see what might be wrong?
I have tried:
Swapping SATA cables.
Swapping SATA Power cables.
Running Windows Media Creation tool and trying to repair the old SSD, which doesn't work and does not give me any error message as to why it isn't working.
Running cmd through the Media Creation tool and running bootrec.exe /ScanOs detects Windows on my drive.
Running bootrec.exe /rebuildbcd, then entering Y when the 'Add installation to boot list?' comes up, doesn't work. Instead I get something along the lines of: 'Can't find system device requested.' (Could my Windows somehow be corrupted? Could my SSD be faulty? If so, why is it still showing up in BIOS?)
My motherboard is an MSI B350 Tomahawk, Socket AM4.
My OLD SSD is a Kingston A400 240GB 2.5" SSD.
My new SSD is a Kingston A400 960GB 2.5" SSD.
Having both SSDs plugged in at the same time results in the new SSD being booted (despite changing the boot order to boot the old one).
Having only the old SSD plugged in gives me the 'Reboot and Select proper Boot Device' message.
I'll take any advice on how to fix it or even speculation as to what might have happend.
Thanks in advance!
