Motherboard: Z68 Extreme4 Gen3 Storage: Sandisk ultra II SSD Recently upgraded from 250GB Evo Transcend SSD to 980GB Sandisk SSD. Used Acronis True Image to peform disk clone and setting of boot disk option. The only way I can get the system to boot is via F11 boot menu and choosing the Sandisk SSD. I've tried going into the primary BIOS interface to the boot option selection, the disk does not appear in the options. Any ideas? Many thanks, Psy ------------- Democracy under man is the illusion of choice inside an impenetrable shadow. |

My guess is the Acronis clone to the SanDisk SSD is somehow flawed, causing the issue. Or, related to that, is the "... setting of boot disk option." by Acronis, as you wrote. What exactly was done with Acronis to set boot disk options? You can try running Windows Disk Management, or in a Command Prompt, the diskpart command, and check the partitions on the Transcend and SanDisk SSDs, and see if they are identical. I haven't used Acronis for disk cloning, but when I've used Macrium Reflect (free version), I've never had any problems with the drive receiving the clone not being in the boot order. I've never needed to clear the UEFI/BIOS after a clone to get the new OS drive recognized. I'm not familiar with your board's boot options, if that is related to this issue. ------------- http://valid.x86.fr/48rujh" rel="nofollow">
