    cannot boot to (cloned) hdd after ssd install


    Hi:

    My new ssd is running great, it feels like a new car. :)

    But I am having trouble with my backups. When I unplug the ssd and try to boot off the hdd (which worked before I installed my ssd) I get boot manager screens.

    How can boot off my clones? I'm using Win7 and did not change the BIOS except to boot off of CD for the ssd install.

    Thanks,
    Adam
