ASUS Q500A SSD Migration

Thread needs solution

I can't seem to get this ssd to boot. I am following the guide from acronis on how to back up and restore to a ssd smaller then original drive. My HDD is 1tb while my ssd 512gb. I have tried twice with the recovery media and a back up on an external drive, restoring to ssd which is mounted internally. After the process is done, it only goes right to bios, I can't make it boot to windows from ssd. Any suggestions, I can't seem to find any thing online.

These questions for starters.

Which version of Windows? I am assuming version 2014 for TrueImage.
Is the original source disk MBR or GPT style partitioning?
During the restore and first boot, Is the SSD attached to same internal connectors as the 1 tb was.
First boot following the restore should have only the SSD connected. Two alike disks must not be connected on first boot

You may need to use your Windows Recovery CD and perform a Startup Repair.
