Precision T5400 Stuck at Boot Menu

Hey guys, So I am repairing a Precision T5400. The SSHD died and I installed one 240GB WD Blue SSD, and a WD Blue 1TB HDD. Now when I try to boot from the USB Device the Windows 10 install is on. The Boot Menu just sits there and does nothing. Any ideas to why this is? Should I try booting from the DVD drive instead?

 

Thanks guys.

 

I won't reply for a bit, but please leave any further ideas on how to fix this.

Yes, try the disk, or a thumb drive if you have it, to see if it will boot at all.  Then verify 100% you are booting from the correct drive.  Disconnect the 1TB HDD if you need to .
