A couple of days ago I decided to upgrade to a Samsung 840 Pro SSD (256GB) for programs and boot, keeping my 1tb HDD for anything that wouldn't need the extra speed (I'm running windows 8 btw). I followed a guide to install the SSD without a having to clean install windows. I backed up my entire computer contents to an external drive, deleted everything I didn't want on the SSD off of the HDD, and then cloned the HDD onto the SSD. This all worked out fine, and I was later able to move my other files back onto the HDD. After all this, I found the performance of my computer wasn't improved enough to warrant the money I spent on the new drive, so I tried to restore the back up of my original computer contents onto my old HDD and remove the SSD. I changed my bios back to how they were before the installation, but my computer will not boot without the SSD installed. Does anyone know a solution for this or have a suggestion why the performance of my SSD was not as I had expected?
Any and all help is appreciated.
