Updated from 250GB to 500GB SSD as my primary drive, and now cannot boot properly into windows.

I cloned the contents of my 250GB drive to a new 500GB drive using Macrium Reflect – Free.

As far as I can tell, the drives are configured the same

When I power up my system regularly, it gives the “reboot and select proper boot device error”

However, if I boot into the BIOS, there is a seemingly blank boot option.

If selected, my machine will boot correctly into Windows, and I will have access to my full 500GB drive.

What I’ve tried so far:

1) Double checked the that the 500GB drive is the primary boot option (Interestingly, the blank option doesn’t even show up in this menu so I have no idea where it’s coming from):

2) Created a Windows recovery drive on a flash drive, and ran the automatic repair tool, which failed to repair the system.

I’ve found several people across the web with similar issues, but nothing (yet) exactly the same. I’m continuing to research it, but thought maybe I’d have some luck here. Please let me know if you’ve seen anything like this before, or have any ideas!

Thanks!!
