Hi, I bought a new SSD today, I installed it. I used a program called Paragon Migrate OS to SSD to save some time and effort. When I turn on my PC, it struggles and will not turn on, giving me the error of no boot drive. When I went into the BIOS of my PC there was only the SSD in the boot order and not my HDD. I can go into the Force Boot Menu in the BIOS to force my PC to boot from my HDD and I can access the SSD in my Windows explorer. Both the HDD and SSD have the File System of NTFS. All that is installed on the SSD is Windows, nothing else.


Other Specs:
CPU: i5-3570k
GPU: AMD HD7770
SSD: Sandisk Ultra Plus 64GB
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 2TB
Mobo: Asus P8Z77-V

All help will be appreciated, thanks!

You probably cloned the hdd with its disk signature.
Your desktop gets confused because it sees two disks with the same disk signature.
Boot with your ssd and get into computer/manage/storage/disk management.
There you will see the hdd and an exclamation mark beside it. You can change its disk signature so it will not clash with the sdd's signature.
