Unable to boot with cloned SSD
I posted previously about having difficulty cloning a laptop HDD to a new SSD in Windows 8. I was able to create a flash drive with True Image 2013 and boot into that and run the cloning program. The program appeared to clone the SSD correctly but when I try to boot from the SSD I get an error saying no operating system is found and have to boot using the original HDD. Any help would be appreciated.

Both the HDD and the SSD are installed in the laptop as there is room for both, would the reverse cloning method still apply?

James,
Before you reboot, you should remove the HDD, put the SSD at its place and try to reboot then. If you compupter boots, then you can put the HDD into it if you want and reformat/clear/whatever you want to do with it.
If it doesn't boot, let us know.

Pat,
I did what you suggested and it seemed to have worked. Not going to reformat my old drive quite yet though to make sure everything truly did work and I do not get any errors. Thanks for the help.
