Intel 750 Nvme pci-e ssd wont boot after backup Sata hdd installation

[FLapo]

I have this same problem two or three times before...i have a Intel 750 400gb NVMe ssd pci-e hdd for boot drive on Windows 10 and a back up sata drive 2 TB. Yesterday, i just changed my 2 Tb sata drive for a 4 tb. After this very simple installation, i see '' Reboot ans select proper device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key.

My motherboard is a MSI Gaming 5 Z97. When i a change a HDD for back up, i always have this same problem. The NVME Pci-E 750 drive is recognize in Bios and i select this drive to boot first on BBS drive priority. I tried many solutions, search on google, on this forum but i didnt find solution. Why this problem when i change a back up Sata drive with the 750 NVME PCi-E drive ? it's really annoying to make a fresh Win 10 install just to change a back up drive!

Hi coloc77,

Thank you for contacting our support community. We understand your situation regarding the drives. It seems that the Windows* installer is creating a system partition on the second drive and that is why the system crashes after you unplug the secondary drive. We recommend you to install Windows* without any backup drive connected to the motherboard in order to avoid this situation. Regards, Junior M.

I think you are right. I will follow your advice for the future. For now, I had formatted my backup hard drive so I found a software that solved my problem. EasyBCD by Neo smart Tecnologies. Bought for 20$ US dollars, not so expensive.

This software created a usb boot drive and repair the bootloader of my NVMe drive. It is very easy with this software. NVME PCI_E 750 400 gig drive is a very good product with very fast speed.

Thank you for your help!
