Cloned SSD and it wont boot internally. Only boots from USB
Hi All, not sure if this is the right forum but im having an issue getting a cloned disk to work on a Dell Laptop.
The laptop is a Dell Latitude E7440 and its running Windows 7.
I have used a bootable Clonezilla USB drive to copy the internal 64 GB SSD to a usb adapter connected 500GB SSD. The clone completed successfully and upon booting the ssd drive connected through usb it works flawlessly.
However, when i remove the internal drive and replace it with the new cloned drive, it throws me a windows failed to start error on a black screen, and there are no options. It tells me to use a windows repair disc to fix it.
Any suggestions on why its only working when plugged in through the USB?
Any additional information you need from me?
