Booting from Intel 1.2TB 750 SSD

[DOlds]

Hi all,

I'm having a hell of a hard time getting my 1.2TB Intel 750 SSD to boot Windows 10. I installed the SSD correctly and it was recognized by Windows just fine. I then ran the Acronis 2018 Clone drive tool and cloned my existing Windows drive to the 750 - and all seemed well. However, when I disconnect the spinning hard drive and try to boot from the 750, I don't see it in the boot menu or listed anywhere in the bios.

I have a Supermicro X10DRG-Q motherboard with two Xeon processors. I also have 128GB of RAM and no other drives connected. Does anyone have any tips for me? I really need this to work since I'm writing an article about this system for publication in an HPC-related online news site.

Thanks in advance!!

Hello Danolds,

Thanks for posting in our communities.We understand that you're having problems to boot from your Intel® Solid State Drive 750 Series after cloning the data from a the previously installed drive.In order to better assist you, we would like to know the following:- What's the original drive make and model?- Was the original drive partition system MBR (booting in Legacy Mode) or GPT (booting in UEFI mode)?- Is the option "Fast Boot" disabled on BIOS (if present)?- Is your Intel® Solid State Drive 750 the 1/2 Height or 2.5" version?Best regards,Eugenio F.

Hey Eugenio,

Thank you for the quick reply. I think I fixed my own problem. I simply changed the boot mode for all devices to UEFI, then re-installed the o/s (Windows 10) in UEFI mode and everything worked! So I'm good now!
