Hey Guys,

I have just put in my new HDD (WD Blue 2TB) and my PC wont boot any more, I get an error like, insert proper boot device, hit any key to continue, however this wasn't my C:\ If I put the old HDD back in it boots normally, so I took a look at Disk Management and it appears for some reason that the System Reserved partition is on there, is that the issue and if it is how do I move it to the SSD or new HDD? 

 

Thanks in advance, Ben

go into the bios and select which ever boot drive was in your system, if its a brand new HDD and you dont have any other drive, you need to install windows on it 

Early 2020 Build : Intel i7 8700k // MSI Krait Z370 // Corsair LPX 8x2 16GB // Aorus 5700 XT // NZXT H500 

Early 2019 Build : Ryzen 2600X // Asus Tuff X470 // G.Skill Trident Z RGB 8x2 16GB // MSI RTX 2070 // NZXT H500 

Late 2017 Build : Intel i7 8700k // Asus Prime Z370-A // G.Skill Trident Z 8x2 16GB // EVGA GTX 1080 Ti  // NZXT S320 Elite 

Late 2015 Build : Intel i7 6700k // Asus Maximus VI Gene Z170 //  Corsair LPX 8x2 16GB // Gigabyte GTX 970 // Corsair Air 240

Which motherboard you have? 

 

also make sure that the sata cables are properly connected
