If it doesn't show in disk manager it's a sign that the drive maybe is dying. Backup ASAP.
Download extract and run CrystalDiskInfo. It's a portable. Doesn't need to install.

My advice is to use Macrium Reflect and start over.
Clean the drive. Don't format it.
Open a CMD window as administrator and type:

diskpart
select disk 1
clean
convert mbr
exit

You're making everything more difficult then it is.
Good luck

As drive 1 is MBR, to make it boot able:

Open a CMD window as administrator and type:

diskpart
select volume G
active
exit
bcdboot G:\Windows /s G: /f BIOS
exit

Did you read my post # 11? Why can't you tell us if the drive is MBR or GPT?

There is no active partition on drive 1 so it won't boot.

Seems to me a good solution

First of all we need to see if the drive is MBR or GPT.

Another way:

I would say that you cloned some MBR partitions from MBR drive 0 into a GPT drive 1.
A GPT drive has a MSR partition (16G) that MBR doesn't.

The cloned 1T boot partition on drive 1 also isn't...

The best is Macrium Reflect but there is no more free version. Maybe Bree knows how to make Free Trials as old free versions.

It means that your Recovery environment isn't on the Recovery partition.

Open a CMD window as administrator and type:

reagentc /enable
