HDD + HDD (SSD) Multi-disk system startup Problems

I. Problem Description

I recently purchased an hp computer with a reserved msata interface. After I bought it, I began to toss about SSD and memory. The memory was fixed at one time. However, I encountered three problems during the SSD installation process, they are:

• No screws, unable to fix the solid state drive (after an old mouse get one, although not very good, but the problem is resolved)
• The system prompts "no bootable device" after installing the solid state drive (this is what I will introduce today)
• The RAID creation prompt will be displayed at the first startup (no solution is available yet, but it has little impact)

Ii. model used: hp privilion m4 1019tx

Iii. test environment: vmware + win7 + SATA

 

Because windows nt uses the active primary partition, a m partition is allocated to the first hard disk for guidance. The partition is shown in disk 0:

Because the BCD file is copied from the SSD disk, there is an original boot item above. Here, you only need to confirm that the boot disk is HD1 and the partition is correct.

Restart again, and the system will be able to start normally ......
