HP Desktop 500-281
Win 10 Home
BIOS MEMv80.22
Short version of latest issue:
HD0 in sata0 slot (original) boots to win10 fine after upgrade to 10. HD1 in sata1 slot is a new clone of HD0 (Win10, using Reflect). HD1 and its files seen in Windows plus HD1 seen in BIOS. If boot order is changed in BIOS (sata1 above sata0), won't boot saying “no boot disk”. Boot order reset to default (sata0 then sata1). If HD0 data cable is disconnected, won't boot , again“no boot disk”. Boot order reset to default. Sata0 data cable disconnected from HD0 and connected to HD1, with no data connection to HD0. Now it boots to HD1. How to boot from HD1 connected to sata1 with or w/o HD0?

Greetings,
UEFI is unforgiving.
The cloned drive should be connected to the SATA port (SATA0) where the source drive was connected.
The cloned drive will not boot on SATA1 without modifications.
Cheers!
