Hello. I have a SSD (SSD Kingston SSDNow UV400 240GB SATA-III 2.5 inch) that I've seen has problems at booting. It used to get me into an infinite loop of windows logo loading and I had to remove the cable and put it back again into SSD few times for it to work. ( I did try other cables and the cable is not the problem ) So now last night instead of getting it stuck into the windows logo loading now it says "BOOTMGR is missing". I tried to assure the boot priorities are right and they are. Also I directly booted on the SSD using Boot menu and the same result. Now for the interesting part, the windows is installed on the SSD, only there. I can actually boot my windows choosing my HDD and actually acces the SSD after I boot the windows (for example I can play the games that are installed on the SSD still). Why is this happening? Firstly, how can I boot from my HDD even tho the windows is installed on the SSD. And what is up with my SSD? If it gives me the BOOTMGR error it should be "broken" but I can still acces it after I enter the Windows. What should I do? I was thinking about the guarantee and sending it to repair.

Did you install windows with hdd connected?
What happens in this case - bootloader partition gets placed onto HDD, while windows is installed onto SSD.
That's why you need to have only OS drive connected during install.

You can verify this in Disk Management.
Partition containing "System" in description is bootloader partition ("EFI system" if OS is installed in UEFI mode).

Yes I did, I think the boot is on my HDD while my OS is on my SSD.

Do you think the SSD is not "broken" and the thing it was doing with the infinite loop on boot was because of this?

One guy on reddit helped me and I have managed to solve the problem. Your guess was right as well the problem was that my boot was on my HDD and the OS was installed on the SSD due to the fact that when I installed my windows I had them both connected on my motherboard.
For anyone who might have this problem this is what I used and it worked perfectly! https://neosmart.net/wiki/easybcd/basics/changing-the-boot-partition/
