I rebooted the computer and got the auto repair attempt then went into advanced and tried the start up repair. no success.

put in the clone that I had made and just for a little insurance, cloned the clone onto a brand new ssd. used the clone fine all day. booting up the computer gave me the same issue on the 2nd hard drive. put the 3rd clone in and within 24 hours I have 3 separate hard drives that will not boot, all with the same error.

    hdsaver.sys is usually a driver for some OKI product like a printer, do you have that type of device connected to your PC?

    I can boot now but every time I have to hit F8 and choose 7 which is disable signature

    its this issue: windows/system32\drivers\hdsaver.sys

    Okay, that is probably a good idea too.

    The only reason why I don't think it is bios or pc hardware is I took the hard drive and put it into a different pc and I have the same issue. I am running malwarebytes to make sure we didnt get any virus or trojan
