SSD Booting Issue - Windows 10
Hi all,
I have an issue with a cloned hard drive that is really bugging me and I'm hoping it is an easy fix for someone.
I recently cloned an old hard drive to a new SSD (laptop). All went well, all partitions copied correctly with no errors. However, the new SSD would not boot. I took the drive out of the laptop and placed it in a SSD caddy, rebuilt the BCD, etc and it booted up via the USB caddy. Placed the SSD back in the laptop and it would not boot. Blue screen stating that the drive needs to be repaired.
The following error message is given
“Your PC needs to be repaired. The application or operating system couldn’t be loaded because a required file is missing or contains errors. File: \windows\system32\winload.efi "
So far I have tried to change the boot order, enabled legacy, but do not know where to go further. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
