Please can anyone help with this issue? Obviously I am not sure what code to modify.

Boot from a Macrium Reflect rescue drive and run the utility to Fix Windows boot problems under the restore menu.

It was not fixed, and I found this on this site

diskpart
select disk 1
select par 1
del par override
create partition EFI size=100
format quick fs=FAT32
assign letter=Z
exit

and after "del par override", my computer shows the volume is too big in size, cannot create the partition. Even worst not both HDD and SSD cannot be booted to windows, it does not have any window system image. I tried to recover with the Windows installation disk but it failed too. Now it is completely screwed. Anyone, please advise what to do next?

Diskpart commands are written for disks and partitions that are in a specific order. Unless you know what the diskpart commands are doing, and how to adjust the disk and partition numbers to match your layout, you should not just blindly execute them. Let's figure out what you have left on the SSD.

Code:

diskpart
list disk
select disk 1
list part
list vol

Please post the results.

Thanks for the feedback. please see the attached screen shot.

Which partition contains the Windows you are trying to boot into?

It is the partition 4 contains the windows. This is the my original HDD.

So the commands should be:

Code:

diskpart
select disk 1
select part 2
assign letter=a
exit
bcdboot D:\Windows /s A: /f UEFI
mountvol A: /d
exit

You also have a bunch of volumes listed as RAW in the diskpart list and that is a problem.

Thank you so much for the instruction, now is able to boot into the original HDD. But still cannot boot from the SSD. DO i need to modify anything to get the SDD boot to work?

Well, the problem is that Macrium Reflect screenshot and the diskpart list are showing two different things. Macrium Reflect is showing the Windows clone on the SSD to be drive letter I: and is a healthy NTFS partition. Also on your SSD where the EFI system partition should be is empty, unallocated space, which is easy to fix.

But your diskpart volume list shows the cloned Windows partition to be Volume 17, drive letter N: and RAW format (corrupted). So that discrepancy needs to be worked out first.
