PC won't boot to Windows 10 from SSD

I bought my PC years ago with only a HDD. I added a SSD myself afterwards. When I booted my PC after a hard shutdown/electricity fallout I had only my HDD in BIOS. I then boot from HDD, get an error and let the PC reboot. After a few times the SSD would be recognized in BIOS and I could change the SSD to default.

I got tired of this proccess a few days ago and found a tip to disable the hdd-partition with diskpart. The first time I had a hardreset again (mouse and keyboard froze and pc didn't shutdown with a single press on startbutton), I couldn't do the HDD boot-trick and tried changing the cables from hdd to ssd (ssd in sata1). This didn't help. In diskpart I made the SSD partition active. I now can see the SSD in BIOS, but booting gives an error "An operating system wasn't found.". When I retry diskpart, the partition could be made active again. It seems like this resets..

Bootrec.exe /FixMbr was successful

Bootrec.exe /FixBoot gives no access error (there could be some parts left of a dual boot setup)

chkdsk gives no problems found

Mediatool boot:

  • This PC can't be recovered with start-uprepair.
  • You need to choose which installation of Windows you would like to put back when using Systemrecovery.
  • Reboot, select a operating system and select Systemrecovery. No systemcopy available.

How could I make my pc boot again?

PC: MEDION AKOYA P5367 D EU (MSN: 10015458)

Motherboard: MS-7728

BIOS version: E7728MLN.209

HDD: ST1509DL003-9V (1500GB)

    Hi,

    Fast Startup is active again after reinstalling windows...

    The HDD probably should be Formatted as a Primary Drive...

    You may have damage to the SSD from the power failure, but it mat just be Fast Startup...

    You still may need to update some drivers... I wouldn't use that driver updater program you used before...

    It seems that sometimes the SSD isn't present at the first boot and a reboot using Ctrl+Alt+Del when Boot device not found is needed. The HDD is visible in Windows now.

    I did the DVD complete reinstall without problems. I did some reboots, shutdowns without a problem.

    I then disconnected the SSD and connected the HDD to format the HDD and create one partition.

    After that I connected the SSD and booted. I didn't saw the HDD in disk manager (maybe because I created it as Logical, not Primary). I disconnected the SSD, made the HDD Primary and booted again.

    Now is the SSD "Not Present" in BIOS. I boot from HDD, see error no boot device available and reboot using Ctrl+Alt+Del. Now the SSD is present in BIOS and I am able to boot. May the SSD be broken or so?

    Hi,

    I can only think that this a file created after the attempted boot repair and was saved to the flash drive... I'm not finding it after multiple attempts...

    If it is not too late, check out this article about another command to try...

    bootsect /nt60 SYS

    If you try it, boot with the DVD...
