If different than C, you'll probably have to change your boot drive within the BIOS. Thunder 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

I have clue how to change the Bios. But if I change it to C will it boot from that drive ? It should. I'm no genius and someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but if that doesn't work, swap the sata drive cable on the SSD s so the new one is connected to the port that the current drive is plugged into. The bios may be looking at the sata port rather than drive letter. You would like sata 0, sata 1, ports etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

EG steam drive, game drive, backup ETC once configured sizing of 1Tb get all current drivers for your hardware put it on a USB stick for install if was a brand name unit clone the 128 then partition 1Tb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I did the upgrade, and migrated everything, no matter what I did or changed in the bios the computer still considered the older SSD as the boot drive. After I took it out all was fine. Its now in a portable enclosure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

If no luck yet, what is do is pull your 128 out and put the new SSD in its place. When you boot, it should pick up the new drive assuming the data migration worked correctly. If you can boot, then put the 128 SSD in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

To: other people make sure you know your Rev of MB before any updating and know dos commands and have file on flash drive formatted to 16/32bit Note on Rev: lets say MB manufacture made model# zx389 MB Rev.1 and had issues but kept same model# and changed to Rev.2 means they had issues with a ford hardware Rev.1 then switch to a chevy hardware with Rev.2 So if you got them mixed up after update will have a blank screen for software not match the hardware this is important to know your Rev of MB b4 any flashing note some MB makers have app for updating hardware is best way now for older MB need to do DOS Edited February 24, 2021 by KaptCrunch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
