I've looked through a couple of forums on this and can't seem to find the steps to resolve my issue. Which is basically a mash up of a few issues on the forums I've searched.
I have an old HP desktop computer that I've upgraded. I added more memory and upgraded to Windows 8.1 and things were excellent. The only problem was the computer was slow so I decided to buy an SSD and upgrade to that. This is where my problems started.
I made the SSD active and cloned the HD to it. All the files seem to be there and it was good to go. When I restarted though, it was still booting from the HD. I unplugged the HD and when I booted up again I got the install a boot disc error.
I plugged the HD back in and hit the esc key to change the boot order. When I changed it to boot from the SSD, I got the 0xC000000E error.
I took another step back and booted from the Windows install disc. That worked but the computer booted from the disc only and it stopped recognizing the SSD.
I went back and replugged in the original HD and am back to booting from that one.
Even if I try to boot from the disc it's only working from the disc and not either of the hard drives. When I go into disk management and look at the SSD when it's booted from the installation disc, the drive is no longer active.
What am I doing wrong that it won't boot from the SSD? Or that it it not recognizing the SSD?
I'd like to avoid having to bring this sucker in to a repair place to have them do it. I'm sure I'm missing a step somewhere but going through all the lists I'm wondering if it's a bigger issue? I tried to clone the drive again but it wouldn't let me.
Help!
