Hello... I have an HP laptop, model 15-bs1xx... I recently bought an SSD hard drive and copied Partition C on it. I formatted the old HDD and brought a caddy and put the HDD in it and inserted it in place of the CD ROM... but when I turn on the laptop it gets stuck in a black screen. Or the HP logo, and the device does not turn on, and when I remove it, it works fine on the SSD hard drive.. So I wanted to inquire about this problem, and if anyone has a solution, I will be very grateful to him.

There are TWO things went wrong
>>>> I recently bought an SSD hard drive and copied Partition C on it
1. COPY C: to other physical drive machine won't boot. You need to CLONE drive C: to other physical drive
>>>> I formatted the old HDD and brought a caddy and put the HDD in it and inserted it in place of the CD ROM
2. Use old HDD on old CD/DVD drive you get 50/50 chance depending on your machine. Normally it SATA port is slower.
Please fix the first one first. Please try
