Hi guys,
I have a 256 GB Transcend MTS600 M.2 NGFF SSD. Along with this, I'm using a USB 3.0 SSD enclosure from MyDigitalSSD to allow me to swap things out and have a portable drive (and because my laptop doesn't have a port for SSDs, despite being relatively new and expensive).
I managed to clone Windows 8.1 to the SSD with AOMEI Partition Assistant. Worked great.
In order to get the USB adapter to be recognized by the BIOS boot manager, I had to disable UEFI/enable legacy support, no problem. Now that I can get the device recognized, I'm good to go, right? Nope. When I select the device, all I get is a black screen with a flashing underscore (basically a non-usable terminal screen).
What have I done wrong? Do I need to wipe my other drive, disable it, what...? I simply do not understand why this does not work. The SSD is formatted as a primary drive in NTFS (MBR), and the HDD is formatted in NTFS as a primary drive as well (GPT).
Computer is an HP Envy 17t-k000 laptop with an i7 4510U, GTX 850, and a Hitachi 1 TB hard drive.
Thanks.
