So here's what's happened
1. Bought a Samsung 500GB SSD
2. connected it to mobo
3. initialised it on computer > manage > disk management to get it 'detected'
4. used samsung migration software that came with it, but it was extremely slow at only 2 Mb/s
5. after an hour it failed to migrate and recommended I restart and do a disk check
6. here's where things got nasty, my pc keeps trying to reboot itself on the (empty) SSD, so it gives me a blue screen and tells me my pc needs to be repaired
7. when I go to bios and select my HDD to reboot, it's just a black screen that says 'reboot and select proper boot device'
8. when I unplug my SSD and try rebooting again, I have to system restore windows back to a previous version and it takes forever, complete opposite of why I bought the SSD in the first place
I have thoroughly checked and as far as I am aware, there is nothing wrong with my HDD. I am at wit's end, I really don't want to have to pay a computer technician to determine what's wrong with it or what I'm doing wrong.
Alternatively, could I just install windows on the SSD and forget about migrating, ie a new start?
