Alright so, going on a bit of a rant about what's going on and why I need help.
My HDD started acting funny a few days ago with it having some errors and things bugging out so I went ahead and bought a new HDD today to clone my data to before the old one dies. I bought the new HDD, plugged it in and booted up normally with my old one. I used a cloning tool my friend recommended to clone all of my stuff to the new one. I turned off my PC, I unplugged my old HDD and tried booting up from the new drive. Everything seemed normal but then I noticed it displayed that the drive only has 500GBs of storage but it's suppose to have 1TB, the old one had 500GBs. So I I tried unplugging the new one and replugging it back in and then it said BOOTMRG missing. I tried several times to boot from the new one even from the BIOS but nothing worked. So I then plugged in my old HDD and booted up the PC, it still shows the new drive but with 500GBs and everything I have stored on it because of the clone, I tried to maybe clone again to the new drive but the program said I am booted from the new drive currently. So I have no freaking clue what to do at this point and I'm scared my old drive will die before I can clone everything properly and I'll lose some very important data. You guys are my last resort.
If it helps my old HDD is TOSHIBA 500GBs and the new is WD 1TB with the same attributes from what I understand, I'm not a tech wizard and I'm just trying to play video games.
