I have a Dell PC with windows on a SATA HDD. I installed an SSD and cloned it with Easeus Todo Backup (both drives are GPT). This clone was successful and I booted from the SSD with no problems. So Easeus converts the BCD to a different disk UID. (Easeus Partition wizard does not!!)
However, I can no longer boot from the HDD. If I try, it says BOOT DEVICE NOT FOUND.
I wanted to be able to Dual Boot the 2 windows systems. How do I do that and make both the SSD and the HDD bootable? I added an entry to EasyBCD but it did not work. I assume that the bootloader and partitions no longer point at the HDD but my knowledge is scanty.
EasyBCD has a BCD repair option to either reset the BCD or Recreate/Repair the BCD. Before I used Easeus Todo Backup I struggled to get the SSD to boot using Acronis and other products so now that it works I am reluctant to experiment and potentially mess it up again.
Will either reset or repair do what I want? What other options are there.
BTW, when EasyBCD starts it says that some dual boot functions are disabled due to the EFI Boot but doesn't say which functions!
Thanks
