Cloning to new SSD problem

Hello to everyone in the community,

 

Today I tried cloning my old SSD (250 gb SanDisk) to my new SSD (500 gb Samsung ) with Samsung’s data migration software. Everything went just fine.

 

After the restart, and with the old SSD unplugged, the first time the computer booted just fine with no problems at all. But on the next restart I had that "NTLDR is missing" error. I tried to see via the iso windows 10 disc (the installation menu) the drivers and realized that it has been converted into GPT format with no reason at all. Not sure if that’s the problem but I think that system file type is on NTFS (which my new SSD was after the cloning).

 

Any help would be appreciated and thanks in particular !

I've had nothing but problems with Samsung's migration software. I've had excellent results cloning with Macrium Reflect (I recommend Macrium Reflect Free).

As long as anyone is oppressed, no one will be safe and free.

One has to be proactive, not reactive, to ensure the safety of one's data so backup your data! And RAID is NOT a backup!
