Crucial True Image + Lenovo Edge 15 + Crucial MX100 = 0xc0000225
First let me say I've read this over on Crucial.com:
http://forum.crucial.com/t5/Crucial-SSDs/winload-efi-missing-or-contain…
Thus far Acronis True Image has not helped. Let me explain.
Note: The Edge 15 has a 1,000 GB HD. The MX100 is 500 GB.
The MX100 came with a free version of an old Acronis clone program. When I tried it, the process would start with an error and said something about sector by sector copy. (Note: I don't recall the exact error, this problem has been going on for over a month. Sadly, I think it's become my hobby.)
In short, that never worked. When I'd swap the MX100 in I'd get error: 0xc0000225. I tried all kinds of command line stuff (e.g., bootred, diskpart, etc.) that I found when searching for the error. Nothing ever worked.
I've since paid the $30 or so and upgraded to the current / real / full version of Acronis True Image. With that I cloned again. That cloning did NOT start with an error. I thought that was a good / great sign. I was mistaken.
Here's where I'm at.
When the MX100 is still the external drive, and I'm booting from the standard HD, Windows Explorer does recognize the MX100 SSD.
I can also swap the two (i.e., the SSD is in the machine and the HD is external) and continue to boot from the exteral HD. That's fine. Same. Works, but obviously a bit slower.
However, if I remove the HD from the picture and then try to boot from the SSD (in the Edge 15) I'm back to 0xc0000225.
Where it gets ugly and I get lost (and frustrated) is that if I boot from the USB recovery drive (I made) and the MX100 is in the machine (and the HD not connected anywhere), the SSD isn't recognized. Or at least I can't find it from the command prompt. The only disk diskpart shows in the USB.
The bottom line...I'm @#$%^! stuck :(
I've probably put in more time than my notebook + SSD are worth. That said, the local bartender always seems glad to see me :(
Please help. Thank you.

Thanks Enchantech.
The new SSD was in an external bay. I guess I was under the impression I could just swap it in. I guess I was wrong.
So, since this has been a struggle, please let me just review what I should do.
1) Create a traditional backup of my HD
2) Create / verify I have a working (read: bootable) USB (aka Recovery Media)
3) Swap the HD out and the SSD in (to the laptop)
4) Put the HD in the external drive.
BUT...
1) Do need to reformat / deformat the SSD so I'm starting from scratch? That is, currently, when I boot from the USB and the SSD is in the laptop, diskpart > list volume doesn't show anything but the USB
2) How do I run True Image from the USB? Is there something in True Image I need to add to the USB?
Thanks again for your help. Sorry to be a wuss but at this point I just wanna line up my ducks right and knock this out.

Well, do you want to clone the drive or do you want to restore the created backup?
There is no need to format the SSD, True Image will handle that for you.
The created Recovery Media is a bootable Linux environment with True Image added so once the machine boots you can run the application. You will need to set your machine bios so that the USB is first in the boot order in order to boot to that device. If you have a UEFI system and Secure Boot is enabled you will need to disable the Secure Boot option as well. You should not have to change from UEFI to Legacy bios however.
If you want to clone create the backup of the existing drive first and store that on some other medium. Then arrange the drives as outlined. run the clone tool and follow the steps in the link below.

If you want to restore the backup that you created then follow the steps in this link

If your existing disk in a dynamic disk read the link below for additional steps/considerations

re: Well, do you want to clone the drive or do you want to restore the created backup?
One in the same it would seem, yes? I would pick which every is easier and/or least likely to be screwed up (by me).

If I swap the original HD out, can I boot from that? Or only from a USB?
I ask because I tried booting from the original but not external HD and when I start True Image I get an error about needing two drives. That is, the new SSD in the notebook is not recognized.
I'll go back and read everyone over again, and again. Hopefully it's click soon.

By what you have posted I believe that you are attempting to clone an existing installation to a new SSD drive. The clone function is not the same as the restore of a backup file archive so if you are doing that procedures are different.
Your error indicates that the system boot files are missing or corrupted on the SSD after whatever process you are attempting to run either clone or backup restore.
If you are attempting a clone then you must understand that you are doing so on a notebook computer. Portable devices such as this require certain steps to be followed in order to complete a successful clone operation. First, clone operations should only be performed when run from user created recovery media, did or are you attempting the clone when the machine is booted to such media?
Second, for such devices the original disk (disk from which you desire to copy data from) must be removed from the device prior to the clone attempt and attached via USB connection and the new blank target drive (disk you wish to copy data to) must be installed in the location where the original disk was in the notebook.
With the machine setup as described above you then boot to the user created media to run the clone operation.
You should create the boot media and make certain that you can boot your machine from that media before going any further with the process.
