Installed new Nvme drive - cloned windows 10 to it but it won't boot
Hi My Motherboard a X470 AORUS ULTRA GAMING-CF has two Nvme sockets but i want to add a third 1TB Nvme ssd.
So I bought a Sabrent adapter card and a new 1TB WD black Nvme ssd.
I added the new Sabrent adapter with the new WD 1TB in and cloned the windows system to it.
I then took out the Sabrent adapter and switched the new WD 1TB to the disk 0 position taking out the old system drive.
When I booted up the EUFI recognised the drive and the windows boot manager on it and tried to boot into it. But I get a hardware error something like ' check for any new hardware' etc
Tested it many times still wont work.
So I put the Old 250mb Nvme ssd into the Sabrent adapter and put that into its PCIE slot.
So now both drives are back in but in different positions.
I did this to prove whether it was the drive or the adapter that was causing the problem.
The PC does now boot but even though the first boot option is the new 1TB ssd it skips that and boots the the old system on the 250gb ssd.
It does show the New 1TB drive in file manager though so both drives are working and so is the new Sabrent adapter.
All I can think of is that the boot manager was not cloned properly?
How I cloned the old 250gb drive:
I used Macrium Reflect 7
Using the clone tool I removed the boot partion from the new 1TB drive and then dragged the old boot partition to the destination drive, then i did the same with the windows partition. I then increased the partition size on the new clone to near max size leaving 2mb clears space and the i dragged the other 2 partitions from the old drive to the new.
It is a GPT drive so that was why it had 4 partitions.
Can anyone advise what I did wrong or what I have forgotten to do?
thanks
Mike
