My computer was running a 240gb SSD for the OS with a 1tb HDD for file storage. I decided to install a new 960gb SSD as the primary drive for the OS and all of my steam/oculus games. To do this I attempted to clone the old SSD to the new SSD, which ended up not being bootable. I tried several times but in the end I gave up. Afterwards. looking at the disk management utility, I noticed that the large HDD was being used by the system. I decided to power down and disable that drive via BIOS to see if the computer would boot with just the old SSD, to my surprise the computer would not. To make a long story short my computer will only boot in a specific configuration, with the original SSD and HDD connected and booting from the HDD. Windows is actually installed on the old SSD and I believe it WAS booting from there previously, but I could be wrong. I now have the new SSD disconnected until I figure this out.
If I try to boot with just the old SSD (C), I get a black screen with "0xc000000f" error stating "The Boot configuration data for your PC is missing or contains errors".
If I try to boot with just the HDD (D) I get a blue recovery screen with "0xc000000e" error stating "A required device isn't connected or can't be accessed.
I'm just trying to determine the exact problem so I can find out if it can be fixed without a fresh install. If I have to do a fresh install it will be a huge pain,. It seems like the boot data is on D drive and the windows files on C drive. Anyway to move the boot data? I want the C drive to be the only drive required to boot. I'll install my new SSD as a third drive later. All drives are MBR and connected via Sata 3.
Please let me know if you need more info.
