My Cloned HDD won't Boot
I have cloned my W7 Home OS to another internal HDD using Easus ToDo Backup, yet it won't boot and I cannot understand why not. Both HDD's are the same GB capacity, except that the new one (E) has an unallocated partition at the end of 39MB which I have tried unsuccessfully to delete. Both show up in BIOS and in My Computer and both are SATA disks. The new disk (E) is shown in Computer Management as - New Volume E, NTFS, Healthy (Active, Primary partition) and has been formatted. I have tried booting it on its own and by F10 selection when both HDD's are in situ but all I get is :- No Bootable Device-Insert boot disk and press any key". I have gone the route of System Repair using the original W7 CD with the same result, so I am hoping some kind person can tell me where I have gone wrong.
Incidentally, I have decided on Cloning so that I can eventually convert the new cloned HDD to W10 but leave my main W7 OS separate.
