A friend of mine asked me to help him migrate his original HDD to an SSD (Crucial MX500 480GB) he bought. He's using a 27" HP Envy Recline Touchsmart All-in-one PC.
So I went and used the same software I've been using for years (EaseUS Todo Backup Free 11.5), only this time it won't boot. It gives me a BSOD and shuts down after a few seconds. I installed the source HDD and target SSD in a Lenovo M73p tower case because my USB HDD docking station died. Could this have anything to do with it?
The BIOS in the HP Envy has Secure boot enabled and Legacy boot disabled. The SSD is the only drive installed and boot order is correct.
Windows startup repair doesn't do anything.
I tried (didn't help):
- bootrec /scanos
- bootrec /rebuildbcd
- bootrec /fixmbr
- bootrec /fixboot
I haven't tried rebuilding the EFI partition yet...
0xc0000225
, which means "Windows cannot find the System Files used for booting". Your clone doesn't seem to have been cloned correctly. Maybe you should try another software, example AOMEI.bootrec /fixmbr
. It's abnormal for an advanced cloning software to fail, even if there are size differences (please give more information about the disks). I note that EaseUS Todo Backup is currently at version 13.5, so you might try the newer version.
