Ok, I'm an idiot. I looked at the 4 wire connector and thought is was a molex connector. It indeed fits the new ssd. So, I plug in the ssd and I get a black screen saying:
boot from cd
no boot device available
SATA 0 installed
SATA 1 installed
SATA 4 none
sata 5 none
Yea I don't believe they make adapters for this transition,
Oops I believe those connections are backwards or opposite
You need both connectors, power and data. Power to the power supply, data to the motherboard.
TZ, what I thought was a 4 wire molex, is not. It does fit the ssd.
We are heading out for the day in a few minutes. I've already got "THE LOOK" from the wife. You are in capable hands. Good luck!
Is it possible that I didn't clone it correctly causing this? I used Acronis to do it, not the program that came with the ssd. Worked fine using Acronis when I went to a larger ssd in my laptop.
Yep it's still a bit cloudy possibly the op should take a picture of his old and new devices :/
Do you still want pictures? I was mistaken about the connectors. I saw a 4 wire connector and "assumed" it would not fit the ssd. I can, but I'll need to shut down the pc and remove the hdd to photograph it.
