Hey Guys,
I have a dell inspirion 7559. This laptop has 2 hard drive slots. 1 slot for a 1tb HDD and 1 slot for a SSD card. I bought a Samsung SSD 850 EVO M.2 to add to my laptop. I wanted to have the SSD as the drive that contains windows.
So.. I opened up the laptop ans placed the new SSD into the laptop. I then booted up the laptop and the laptop worked as usual.
I then went into Disk Management to see if the new drive was being read. It instantly asked me if i wanted it to be a GPT or MBR drive. I selected GPT as i wanted it to be a boot drive. I then downloaded and ran the samsung data migration tool from the samsung site so that i could clone windows over to the new drive.
The migration tool did not get past 0%. An error appeared after a minute saying "cloning failed cannot create a snapshot 201109[031195]". So i then closed the samsung migration tool.
I thought that maybe i needed to re-boot the computer so that the SSD would get recognised as a GPT and then I would re-try the samsung migration tool again.
My issue is that when I rebooted my machine. It would not boot. I got a windows message saiyng something like.. enter repair cd..
I had to take out the SSD and my computer booted fine.
My problem now is that i can not try any other migration tools because the when i plug in the SSD. The computer gets hit by that windows recovery/repair screen.
I have tried telling the BIOS to boot up from the 1tb HDD but this does not work. My BIOS tells me that the first hard drive is the Samsung and the second hard drive is the 1TB.
Attached is an image of the error i get when the Samsung HDD is plugged in.

something is wrong page, and then it rebooted to automatically repair the settings and now, this laptop is blazing fast! Good luck!
