I just purchased a new drive to swap in for my outdated 9-year-old HDD. I formatted it properly and moved all files from the failing drive to the new one. After restarting, I got an error saying "HECI Disabled, Proceeding to Boot!" The system froze completely, so I had to reboot again. Then it showed a black screen, another reboot, and finally entered recovery mode with corrupted system files. This happened twice, so I’m ignoring the other thread.
Your old hard drive is causing problems and won't start up properly. Swap it for an SSD, as this often resolves the issue when the drive is faulty.
It seems there might have been an issue with the previous drive that Windows attempted to resolve before allowing access to the new one. Give it some time and observe the outcome.
I've never encountered anything like this before, huh? Probably not too serious unless it's actually functioning now.
