After cloning to SSD shows reboot and select proper boot device

GiantCow · May 3, 2014

Hello all, recently I bought a new SSD to uprgrade to. I followed this tutorial:
http://lifehacker.com/5837543/how-to-migrate-to-a-solid-state-drive-without-reinstalling-windows

after cloning my hard drive to my SSD I rebooted and tried to boot using the new SSD, However it shows the error message: "reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key

I tried changing the SATA ports, and the SATA cables, and it still does not work.

Go into BIOS Setup and set your new SSD as the first boot device.

I have done that, as mentioned in the question

Re-read my post, I've made another suggestion since you last read it.

Did you read my edited first post? Go into BIOS Setup and set your new SSD as the first boot device.

Choose the first option: "Continue - Exit and continue to Windows 8"

Anything else you'll need to post on the Windows 8 forum since I've never used that version so I stay away from that forum.

did you clone both the windows partition and the hidden 100MB system partition? It's not noted in the lifehacker thing, but should be.

you'll need to post on the Windows 8 forum since I've never used that version so I do not post on that forum. Consequently, I have never encountered the screen shown in your screen grab. Windows 7 has a different screen.

Your first post didn't mention Windows 8. If it had I probably would not have replied to it.
