How do I make my SSD properly launch as my boot drive? Is my windows corrupted?Īlso side note: I'm posting this an hour before I go to work so I won't be replying until tonight, thank you either way!Įither the source drive is not quite right, or you did something wrong in the clone process. I sanitized the drive using Crucial Storage Executive so my SSD is empty yet again, so it's ready to have my HDD cloned again to it but obviously I want to fix the issue before I do that. I have tried this twice and the same issued occurred both times. I then changed my boot drive back to my hard drive and windows properly launched. It automatically set itself as the boot drive which is great but whenever it tried to launch, it would bring up the 'choose keyboard layout' and I'd select english, select 'continue to windows 10' and it would just go back on a cycle to the choose keyboard layout. After 6 hours it was done cloning and I restarted my PC.

If you are still experiencing problems, please contact us for more assistance.I bought a crucial MX500 1TB to use as storage and to launch windows off of, so I used the Acronis True Image software that it comes with to clone my hard drive to it. You can follow the steps in this article to initialize the new disk, then restart the cloning process. If the SSD is not detected in Disk Management, try another USB or SATA port on the system, or another cable if available to check the connection.

Although Acronis should initialize the drive as part of the cloning process, this may need to be done manually in Windows® Disk Management before it will show as a usable drive.

If you are running Acronis within Windows, create bootable media and run Acronis from that to rule out other program conflicts.

If using USB on a desktop, try different ports on the rear of the system, instead of just front ports.

Check another storage device, or USB device, in the port you are connecting the SSD to, to verify it is working normally, or try the SSD connected to a different port.

If available, try different cables to rule out a faulty connection.

In a desktop, verify that both the power and SATA interface cable are connected firmly and in good condition.

Verify all cables are connected securely at each end, and free from damage.

There are a few things to check which can resolve this behavior. You may receive an error message after selecting it, or the SSD is not detected and Acronis does not launch, returning a message 'This product edition requires at least one Crucial SSD be installed in your system'.

In rare cases, while selecting the source and destination (target) drives in the Acronis True Image for Crucial® software, the SSD will not show up.
