Moving sata win10 disk from homebrew to dell 9020 - 'boot failed'
My wife's homebrew took a lightning strike. Motherboard cooked, system wont power up.
Bought a dell 9020 Optiplex, it boots its own drive win10 fine
Tested 2 drives, they are fine, plugged into my new dell, seen all works.
Trying to boot the homebrew win10, plugged into first sata (sata0), gets message 'System drive boot failed, hit any key to reboot'
If system boots the drive that came with unit, it sees the win10 homebrew disk and all the files just fine.
The standard disk boots in ata mode, changing it to ahci gives error halfway into boot with 'Inaccessible boot device', kind of expected
The homebrew disk gives error message about 'boot failure' that displays whether ata or ahci mode enabled
Anything simple I am missing? I have not yet tried uefi? mode. And I cannot remember what sata controller mode it was built in the homebrew
