Hi

I've just migrated from my HDD to my new SSD (i've got both connected to my computer) and would like to boot from my new SSD. It then looks like it won't boot from my SSD eventhough i have followed every guide I could find:

When i'm in BIOS and wan't to put my SSD as primary and is finish with that by pressing F10 (Save and exit) it says, that there is nothing to save and then i restart getting the abovementioned pictures.

What to do?

Thanks in advanced

We'll assume the disk-cloning operation was successful and your 256 GB SSD has a viable OS installed.

When you boot the PC, access the boot menu by pressing the appropriate "F" key. You can find the appropriate key from your motherboard's user manual if you don't already know it. Select the SSD as the boot drive from the list. Hopefully the system should boot to that drive. Assuming it does, thereafter the system should continue to boot to that drive without user intervention. In case it doesn't you will have to set the boot priority BIOS setting so that the SSD is first in boot priority.

As a general proposition (although it's not absolutely essential) it's preferable to have your boot drive connected to the motherboard's first SATA...
