HogDev12546y@iAmNaN it's the second or third time, a relative just switched from a hdd to ssd on her system and called me panicing over that her pc wouldnt boot. Mind you this was a clean install of win 10. So I went overe there and checked it out, and apparently there was no uefi launcher (or whatever) on the disk. So just to try, I tried Win10 start repair.

iAmNaN71316y@HogDev what brand of SSD? Did it come with cloning software? It sounds like the image wasn't properly cloned to the new drive, and that will really dork things up.

iAmNaN71316y@HogDev I'm not familiar with minitool. I have Samsung EVOs in all my machines, and Samsung provides a great tool. I'll be putting a Crucial drive in my little CentOS 7 netbook. My guess would be that something didn't clone properly if the UEFI loader was missing. Hindsight is 20/20, but it probably would have been safer to install the OS from scratch, since it was a clean install.

HogDev12546y@iAmNaN Yeah, that's What we did eventuelly. We purged the drive and did a clean install. She got a bit pissed tho cause she had to reinstall everything. But it went Well in The end :)

"Sorry, can't install on disk 0,cause the disk is in gpt format" NO SHIT, you were the fucking asshole who formatted it from the begining. Douchebag.
