No boot device on T5400

Hi I have been asked to install Windows on this machine using a 1TB SSD which will replace a 120GB HDD.

When I try to install windows on the drive it fails saying it can not see the drive. When I exit the setup and go into BIOS I can see the drive in there.

So I cloned the old drive to the SSD which worked fine. However, when I try to load from the SSD it says no boot device found.

I have even installed Windows on the SSD using a different machine which boots up fine on that machine however, When I plug the drive in the T5400 it states no boot device found. Do you have any advice on what the problem could be. Thanks

Hi @brownkida ,

Ever tried clear CMOS before installing the new hard drive?
