Hello,
I just bought a Samsung 850 EVO SSD (250GB) to boost my old config:
Motherboard: MSI Z87 G45 Gaming
CPU: Intel i5 4440 @3.10 GHz
HDD: Western Digital Blue 1To
Graphic card: MSI Gtx 1060 6Go (added along the SSD)
Ram: GSkill Ripjaws X 2x4Go
I wanted to do a clean install of Windows 7 (64bits version) on the SSD. After deleting the partitions on my HDD (system and other data), I started installing Windows 7 on the SSD, but got an error message. I finally installed the OS on my HDD, and tried cloning it on the SSD.
I first tried using Samsung Magician, but got an error while defragmenting the disk.
Then I cloned it using EaseUS Todo Backup following this guide: http://www.howtogeek.com/97242/how-to-migrate-windows-7-to-a-solid-state-drive/
So I have my system files on the SSD and HDD. But when I try booting from the SSD, I got an "Disk Read" error message asking me to press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart the Computer.
My motherboard is on IDE, because AHCI couldn't find my SSD in the BIOS.
I hope I was clear enough, excuse my bad english.
Have a nice day !
