I just got a new SSD and installed Windows 7 on it (Prior to this, I have used an HDD as my OS drive.).
First time it booted just fine.
Second time (with the old HDD also in place), I got
"BOOTMGR is compressed
Press Ctrl+Alt+Delete to restart".
This also happens when I select to boot from the HDD.
So I removed the HDD, and now I get:
"Reboot and select proper boot device".
I made sure I was running in AHCI; it was that by default. I installed Windows twice, and the SSD always booted successfully the first time. I really don't know how to resolve this, so I would greatly appreciate some help.
SSD: Transcend 256GB
MOBO: Asrock Extreme9 (X79)
Edit: What I want is to use the SSD as my OS and software drive, and the HDD for storage.
