I cloned the hard drive of my Toshiba Satellite to a 1 TB WD hard drive and installed it but I kept getting the message "no bootable media... Please restart" and every time I restarted I got the same message. So I put my old hard drive in an external USB hookup case and plugged it in before my next restart and came to this blue repair screen and I am trying to repair it from that, is that even possible? What do I do?!? My old hard drive is failing and I fear will quit on me anytime now :( HELP!!!!! Please :)

How did you "clone"? Most cloning software I've seen will automatically default to making the clone copy of a bootable HDD also bootable.

But my best suggestion is to follow what Phillip Corcoran said - make sure your BIOS is set to use that new HDD as the boot device.
