My system spec
i5-3570K | GA-B75M-D3H | 2x 4GB Hyper X Genesis | WD Black + 1tb | Gigabyte GeForce GTX 660 windforce OC | Silver stone RL01 | Silencer Mk III 400W Modular | Razer abyssus | 8.1 pro 64



Disk setup AHCI

First Primary hard drive
WD3200BEKT 320gb 2.5in WD black
Single partition. But in disk manager it shows its reserved partition around 350mb other than main C.
In C only 60gb is used. Windows 8.1 Pro 64bit with all updates installed. I also have kaspersky 2014 internet security which i disabled while cloning.

OS history. I installed windows 8 pro 64 bit and upgraded to 8.1 online.

Additional hard drive
Toshiba 1tb 3.5in
Data. No partitioning hence its shows only D drive.


SSD
Seagate 600 240GB

My Plan:
Clone the WD3200BEKT with Seagate 600 240gb and place seagate ssd in the place of my WD3200BEKT

Software used for cloning:
EaseUS to do backup free (v6.1)




What i did first
I used a usb enclosure to clone my primary disk WD 320gb to seagate. With in easeus I get to adjust the partition size. It gave me unneeded 80gb for reserved partition so what i did is to drag it to minimum (which was under 400mb) and extended the C drive. Clone was sucess after 40min or so. Then i removed Wd out of the system and placed the seagate internally on the same port.

I got a error which in attached photo.



What i did again?
I tried cloning by connecting SSD in internal SATA port I got the below error. This time i let 1gb for reserve partition.

Recovery
Your PC needs to be repaired
A required device isn't connected or can't be accessed.
Error code: 0xc0000225
[ A text saying I should use recovery tools on my installation media to fix the issue. ]
Press Enter to try again
Press F8 for Start-up Settings
Press Esc for UEFI Firmware Settings

Both time i checked the optimize for SSD tick box

Currently i'm using with my old setup with out SSD.
Please help me swap my drive with SSD

please help me what went wrong? Can i try seagate disk wizard instead of easeUS?

I don't want to freshly install OS also i don't have windows 8 DVD or any material. I don't even have the serial.

First of all, you need to copy every partition as-is from your current boot disk to the SSD. There is no such thing as an unneeded partition. That was your first mistake.

In the few times I have tried to restore a backup of a Windows 8 install and then restore it to an SSD, I have never had it work. I have always had to go into BIOS and remove the "Secure Boot" setting or whatever it is called. My understanding is that this is a way that BIOS and Windows 8 have to protect the boot manager from being replaced by a boot sector virus. You may also have to set your BIOS to boot from BIOS rather than UEFI.

So dig into your BIOS and see what you can find along these lines.

You were miss guided.
I copied all partitions. What i meant was for the reserve partition which was 346MB on my old drive doesn't have to be 80GB on my SSD right? So in the mid option easeUS software let me adjust the partion size. Thats where i adjust it to 400mb first time and 1gb second time. Other than that i cloned the entire drive.

I have a new information. In both time of cloning boot was set to Ultra Fast in my gigabyte BIOS

Other two options were Disabled and Enabled. After cloning i tried disabling it still same result. May be should i have cloned keeping it disabled?
