Problem booting windows 7 after cloning to ssd

Tylerr · May 21, 2016

I have a problem with booting, i am getting this error:

Windows Boot Manager
Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. To fix the problem:
1.insert windos cd and run a repair your computer option.
File: /EFI/MICROSOFT/BOOT/BCD
Status: 0xc000000F
An error occurred while attempting to read the boot configuration data.

I used macrium to clone from the hdd to ssd, i knew the boot would be messed up since i've done it before.

but to fix it last time i booted into the windows pe environment macrium provided and it fixed it. (though before i was using an old abit ab9 pro board if that makes any difference)

this time it didn't.

Also tried using the windows 7 repair disk, it said it fixed something but it still happens.

also hitting enter lets me continue into windows.

After cloning process, bootloder need fixing.
1. Boot from windows installation media;
2. Go to Repair your computer/command prompt
3. Enter commands

Code:

bootrec /rebuildbcd

4. Reboot

tried that, still got the same error. Though i also had to re-activate windows.

Is this because i had another OS on it? I am getting 2 of these error screens, i bypass one and then another one comes up then when i get past that it loads windows.

all i did was quick format it before installing the new one.

You have not cloned bootloader partition from your previous drive.
Well you can recreate it:
1. Create primary partition in unallocated space (ntfs format)
2. Make it active.
3. Reboot from windows installation media.
4. Choose Repair your computer/startup repair

5. Choose command prompt and enter commands:

bootrec /fixmbr
bootrec /fixboot
bootrec /scanos
bootrec /rebuildbcd

6. Reboot from SSD.

how do i do those first 2 things?

SkyNetRising · May 22, 2016

Use Disk Management:
1. Rightclick on Unallocated space/ Create primary partition, size 101mb, ntfs format quick
2. Rightclick on newly created partition/ Make it active.

I'm trying to use MiniTool Partition Wizard Free to do it but its asking me to put a drive letter but not giving C. Should i put none?

Like this?

SkyNetRising · May 22, 2016

Just use Disk management.
Partition needs to be primary (not logical).
Drive letter is not necessary, but you can use some of last letters available - like X:
(you can't use C: - it's for windows partition).

Didn't work.. same thing happened.

Though i think i fixed it...

This is the first time i've been on the new uefi bioses so i wasn't used to them.

But i saw in the boot options 2 "Windows Boot manager" options which i assume accounted for the 2 error screens, and then the 3rd option was just "SATA6 G_1 OCZ-ARC100" which is my ssd.

so i changed the boot order and bam... no more errors.

thanks though.
