I went back a few hours later to transfer data I was able to pull off the OEM HDD and this time I got another BSOD.
Crucial clone disk Pc#
I shut the PC down and switched off the power strip (standard procedure in my house for all PC's)
Crucial clone disk install#
I had to install the 3 newer BIOS updates in order, and when that was done I thought I was done.

I then went to Dell's website to install the drivers for this PC, and I found that the current BIOS was 4 iterations out of date. I then did another Win10 install with it in AHCI and once everything loaded ok, I checked the SSD's firmware which was already up to date. I found that it kept switching back to RAID in the BIOS so I would have to switch it back to AHCI in order for it to be seen.
Moving on, I did a fresh Win10 install, but when it would restart during setup I would get the boot disk not found error. I remember my daughter stopped using this PC because it was giving her BSODs intermittently, but a reboot would usually work, but she switched to an old laptop for school and this PC sat for quite some time now.

I found the source of the BSODs when I decided to put the OEM HDD back in and I tried to boot but it got another BSOD.Īpparently the OEM HDD has issues, and after numerous attempts, it would not boot, which explains why cloning it to the SSD no matter what software I tried, it would give a BSOD on boot. I found that the PC would not see the SSD unless I changed it from RAID to AHCI in BIOS, then it would see the SSD and try to boot but I was getting BSODs every try. If anyone else has this issue, here is what I went through and I hope it will help someone else with a similar situation one day. This will probably require the commandline diskpart function, and the clean command.The PC is working now without issue after a long day of trouble shooting, fixing, finding out it wasn't fixed and breaking stuff out of frustration. Later, reconnect the old drive and wipe all partitions on it. Maybe reboot a time or two, just to make sure. It should boot from the new drive, just like the old drive. Swap the SATA cables around so that the new drive is connected to the same SATA port as the old drive This is to allow the system to try to boot from ONLY the SSD You can manipulate the size of the partitions on the target (larger)driveĬlick on "Cloned Partition Properties", and you can specifiy the resulting partition size, to even include the whole thingĭisconnect ALL drives except for the new SSD If you are going from a smaller drive to a larger, by default, the target partition size will be the same as the Source. Select ALL the partitions on the existing C drive
Run the Macrium Reflect (or Samsung Data Migration)
Crucial clone disk driver#
If you are cloning from a SATA drive to PCIe/NVMe, install the relevant driver for this new NVMe/PCIe drive.ĭisconnect ALL drives except the current C and the new SSD Verify the actual used space on the current drive is significantly below the size of the new SSDĭownload and install Macrium Reflect (or Samsung Data Migration, if a Samsung SSD) Specific steps for a successful clone operation: Return the system back to original config, without the new SSD. How do I make my SSD properly launch as my boot drive? Is my windows corrupted?Īlso side note: I'm posting this an hour before I go to work so I won't be replying until tonight, thank you either way!Įither the source drive is not quite right, or you did something wrong in the clone process. I sanitized the drive using Crucial Storage Executive so my SSD is empty yet again, so it's ready to have my HDD cloned again to it but obviously I want to fix the issue before I do that. I have tried this twice and the same issued occurred both times. I then changed my boot drive back to my hard drive and windows properly launched. It automatically set itself as the boot drive which is great but whenever it tried to launch, it would bring up the "choose keyboard layout" and I'd select english, select "continue to windows 10" and it would just go back on a cycle to the choose keyboard layout. After 6 hours it was done cloning and I restarted my PC. I bought a crucial MX500 1TB to use as storage and to launch windows off of, so I used the Acronis True Image software that it comes with to clone my hard drive to it.
