"Reboot and select proper device"

[matto97]

So i got a new SSD and re installed windows but once it was all set up i noticed 9/10 loading windows i would get "Reboot and select proper device" error and windows would not load.
Checking Disk Management i notice the boot partition is still on my old SSD and my new one only has 1 massive partition where normally it has the OS, Recovery and then Boot partitions right?
For some reason my new SSD is showing as Disk 3 even though its plugged in before all the others

Did you change the boot priorities?

i had done to try and fix it but nothing really changes it, if i try to boot of Disk 3 it gives me that error. If i use the windows boot manager some times it gives me that error or a blue screen with "process1_initialization_failed" error and if your lucky some times it will boot up properly

Oh my goodness we got some pretty messed up partitions here. Look at of those patches of unallocated space. Could you go through which drive is associated with which drive letter and you how went about setting up the drives in your current Windows install?

Installed the SSD, put in a USB with a copy of windows. Did the advanced start up and started the install process.
Tried to re format the old SSD to wipe it but it said it was protected and wouldnt let me so i just installed on the new SSD and continued on and then re formatted the old SSD from within windows afterwords.

But even though i re formatted it the old boot partition still stayed there.

And dont worry about that unallocated space, i did that on purpose as Samsungs tool recommends some storage be unallocated for some reason.

Is there a way to create a new boot partition on Disk 3 and force delete the old one on Disk 0?

That is really weird because the System Reserved partition that holds the Boot Manager and Boot configuration data should be in a NTFS format of 500mb. You have a FAT32 partition of 99mb. I also have Samsung EVO drives an neither of them recommended to have some storage unallocated. 20 GB to leave unallocated is a lot of wasted space.

Hang on what does the "Active" mean?
Is there a way to un active it? and Active the C drive partition on Disk 3?
Would that work?

[Sors]

I would start by reinstalling the OS, with all the other drives disconnected.  If you install with older drives connected, windows sometimes writes pieces of the boot info on those drives.

[matto97]

Ok i managed to un activate the FAT32 partition

[matto97]

Ok so does this confirm that the computer is trying to boot off the old partition?

I remember doing something similar when I added my SSD but I forgot the exact steps I took to remove the old System Reserved partition on my HDD. Disk Utility for sure is not going to allow you to delete that partition even if it's not on the C drive. So you have to force the deletion of the partition.

(see attached photo)

ok so that's my boot priority.

first one is Windows Boot Manager.

7th is my new SSD with windows installed.

all default settings.

[BlueChinchillaEatingDorito]

Set the SSD as the first boot device. Boot into Windows and see how your partitions are like now.

 

I think I used the delete partition override command while running CMD as administrator to delete the old Reserved partition.
