I recently just got a 480 GB Kingston SSD and installed it into the first sata port on my mother board switching my previous 1 tb wd drive to the second port. I then installed easeus and cloned my SSD . But it would not boot on it's own. So I used the bcdboot command and I was able to boot of both drives. So I went into the bios and made the ssd the boot priority. I then reformated the hard drive to D drive. And as I was setting up a folder for my steam games on my hard drive my PC just randomly shut off and I can no longer boot off the ssd . And I cant boot off the drive because it has no os. Anything would be great please :)

Were you ever able to boot from the SSD with the original Drive disconnected? If not, disconnect the DVD drive and connect the SSD to it. (You may have two or more SATA/ATA/RAID bios features. If it then boots, update all your motherboard features so they will include all features. Then try it again. Hope this helps

You might have to use another computer to create USB or DVD utility boots to fix this problem. I'm in school, others here can walk you through picking the best utility or utilities to put on that USB or DVD boot. MiniTool Partition Magic? Wizard? version 9.x is just one example I can think of right now.
