I cloned my C: Drive to an SSD and had trouble booting to it. I solved the issue by detaching all other hard drives and using a Windows 10 USB to fix the boot. However I keep getting this screen prior to booting to Windows:

Cannot find echoldr
Press space bar to hold the screen, any other key to boot previous MBR ...

Granted it would count down and eventually boot up but I feel like something is wrong and that the cloning went awry somewhere. Can anyone help explain this

i can't find this anywhere except someone else asking on here about it... but no answers.

i think its tied into dual booting something, did you ever run linux on old hdd? there is a error like this for grub

might want to look in your bios and see what boot order is

What did you do with original c drive? Why did you clone it? Fresh install would have avoided this problem.
