HDD troubles

[ukamata]

Hello!

 

So I bought new PC recently (ryzen 5600x, rtx 3060, 16gb ram, 500gb nvme ssd)

I wanted to transfer HDD from old PC to new one but I get error 0xc00000e when I select the boot drive (HDD from old pc, it has windows 10 install on it)

 

Weird thing it its detcted in BIOS and it boots up no problem in old pc?

 

 

How do I fix this without formatting anything?

Does the new SSD have anything on it, try booting to the HDD on the new system with the SSD unplugged.

Its empty. No windows installs except on my HDD.

Was the BIOS of the old PC in UEFI or standard "legacy" mode?

In other words, if the old Win10 was installed via legacy mode, and the new BIOS is in UEFI, you might get that failure to boot

Put the BIOS into the mode the OS was installed on (in other words, if your new system is UEFI, swap it back to legacy. If this is not an option, then I don't think there is a solution that doesn't involve a re-format.....BUT I COULD BE WRONG ABOUT THAT, so don't take my word as gospel.)

This may, or may not, be what you need

Install windows on the nvme and then after that reconnect the hdd.

 

Then make sure it boots from the ssd in bios and you can copy everything over

This^

 

Once you're booted to the NVMe, in disk manager (diskmgmt.msc) you can mount the HDD as a different drive letter and use it the same way you would any other drive.

You want your old drive in your old PC and do a SYSPREP & Shutdown, this will erase drivers and prepare your windows as if first time installed. (do backup your data first)

With this you can put the HDD in your new PC and boot Legacy & UEFI to make sure it picks it up. Install all the new drivers from MFG..
