I connected my drive, but the PC won't boot to Windows from it—it displays a black screen asking to reboot or select the correct boot device. In BIOS, the disk appears as SATA-connected, yet it doesn't show up in the boot menu. This isn't an issue with the disk or cable. I've tested with two HDDs, one SSD, and various cables; USB booting works fine. What might be causing this?

It could be due to missing a bootable operating system on the device.

That’s the initial thought—though I do have a bootable operating system available. I’ve been utilizing it on another machine for some time now.

not just as simple as moving an OS drive to another rig nowadays. Give us some back ground, why are you doing this? Motherboard of both systems (where the drive is coming from and new MB) Aside from the details, the only thing I can suggest is a bootable image of windows install and run startup repair on that drive.

Was die bootbare Windows-Festplatte mit GPT oder MBR erstellt? Bei einem Legacy-MBR könnte es zu Fehlinterpretationen der Boot- und Partitionsflags kommen. Führen Sie Startup-Reparatur mindestens dreimal von einer bootbaren USB durch, um mögliche Probleme zu beheben. Beachten Sie diese Tipps. Windows nutzte bis Windows 8 hauptsächlich MBR, daher könnte ein Windows 7 SSD eine frustrierende Erfahrung sein. Wenn Sie einen anderen Laufwerk haben, ersetzen Sie es, kopieren Sie den Inhalt der SSD als Sicherung und installieren Sie anschließend ein neues Betriebssystem.

Sure, I understand. I'll switch it to another PC with a different motherboard, CPU, and RAM. I'll attempt to run the repair tool or reinstall Windows and let you know what happens.

Nope, it's a new SSD used only on Windows 10 before. But it's a good guess. Yep I'll try to use the repair tool or even completely reinstall Windows on it and will report back

You should be proficient with Nukin', which usually resolves the problem. When setting up a custom installation, remove all previous partitions during the OS setup.

I’m a bit concerned. There’s a chance it might be a hardware problem with the motherboard. Good luck!

Place it on SATA0/1 because it’s the only option left, and I’m annoyed that half of them are still empty. You’ve got it in 3 now.
