Hello everyone,

My computer is not booting up with my new Crucial 500 gig nvme ssd installed that had my old intel 535 series ssd cloned onto it. With my old drive it booted up fine, just without the motherboard bios access stuff showing up, now there is nothing.

Here are my specs, if they help

MSI B450M Mortar Titanium AM4 socket motherboard
AMD Ryzen 5 5600X CPU
16 GB RAM
MSI Geforce GTX 1050ti Gaming OC GPU
Old SSD: Intel 535 series SSD 120GB
New SSD: Crucial P2 M.2 2280 SSD 500GB

Cheers everyone

What did you use to Clone the SSD? sounds like the boot records aren't there, or are corrupt.

Your repair option is to boot from a Win PE install on USB & use Easy BCD or a similar utility to rebuild your boot sector on the M.2. If you don't have a customized PE already, hit me up & I'll link you to my fully worked PE toolkit.
