Re: Cloned a HDD to my new SDD Samsung 830 256gb ERRORS

Dale,

 

I guess you want to use the SSD as a single partition drive. If you don't install Win7 into a partition you get that annoying SRP.

 

Use BIBM to create a NTFS partition. Click View MBR and Set Active. Then boot the Win7 disk and do a Custom install into that partition.

Dale,

 

Yes, the same. Delete the current Win7 partition, create a new partition and set it Active. Setting Active is important as the booting files are installed into the Active partition. For example, if the partition you created is not active and there is an active partition on the second HD, booting files will be installed into the second HD partition and not into the first HD Win7 partition.
