unable to boot from a cloned drive
I made a cloned drive using acronis. I changed the boot order to boot off my USB drive first. However, when I restart the computer it says "preparing automatic repair" - but that did not boot off the USB drive.
Next I tried to use windows off a different drive "Volume 3" but again that did not work
How can I get the system to boot off a USB cloned drive?
Thanks

Thanks Steve - unfortunately I cannot swap the USB drive in place of my internal Laptop drive - Is there any work around to make this bootable ?
