M.2 Disk Won't Boot After Cloning A SEPARATE Disk

Thread needs solution

Hi!

Disk 1 is a NVME M.2 drive with Windows 10 installed.

Disk 2 is a SSD drive.

Disk 3 is a SATA hard drive.

I cloned Disk 3 as a source disk to Disk 2 as the target disk.

After cloning and shutting down, I get a "MBR Error: Press any key to boot off floppy."

My bios recognizes the M.2, but the Windows 10 installation dvd does not.

Considering Disk 1 was not involved in the cloning, why won't it boot?

Suggestions?

Thank You!

Have you checked the boot priority - make sure the NVMe drive is given top priority for HDD. 

Also, the cloning will have resulted with two disk with the same disk signature, which can cause all sorts of havoc. You should disconnect the SATA HDD (I assume it is a mechanical HDD rather than an SSD). This may explain why Windows 10 installation is not seeing the NVMe drive.
