Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I cloned my HDD to my new SATA SSD, it shows up in Windows, but not in the bios menu. I have a hp elite 800 g1 SSF, and a MX500 SSD. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi @User852 

 

Welcome to the HP Forum.

 

The SATA SSD should run Windows if the clone went well.

 

Very unusual. I don't know how Windows can see the SATA SSD if the BIOS can't detect the drive. Or are you looking at the HP UEFI startup menu for boot options? The SSD may not be bootable.

 

I'm guessing you are loading Windows using both the HDD as the system drive and the SATA SSD as a data drive? Have you tried connecting the HDD SATA data cable to the SSD? 

 

Now try to load Windows with only the SATA SSD connected to the MB.

Hi @User852 

 

My pleasure.

 

Try connecting the SATA 0 (HDD) data cable to the SSD.

 

The SSD may boot if the clone was good.
