I don't know if these missing partition properties are causing the issue, but I suspect so.ġ. The restored system reserved partition is "Active, Primary Partition" (missing "System") the restored other partition is "Primary Partition" (missing Boot, Page File, Crash Dump). The original system reserved partition is "System, Active, Primary Partition" the original other partition is "Boot, Page File, Crash Dump, Primary Partition". There are other differences with restored partitions, compared to the original partitions here is a screenshot: I removed the drive letter associated with the partition, but that did not change anything on the new desktop - still won't start. Looking at the restored image on the old HD on my old desktop, I noticed the "System reserved" partition was showing up as another hard drive (I expect this partition to be hidden). I've checked the bios setting, made sure the HD is first in the boot sequence, but the result is the same. However, when I plugin this HD into the new desktop, it won't boot the bios just says "Checking Media Presence.", and won't start. I imaged my existing SSD (bootable c: drive), and then restored that image onto an older HD. Now, I'm a bit nervous about this move, so I figured I would do a dry run first. It seems that this could be as simple as just moving the drives over, maybe even without running sysprep. I'd like to move my existing SSD + HD over to the new Lenovo desktop. My existing desktop has a 460GB SSD + 3 TB HD. It comes with a pitiful 100 GB SSD + 1 TB HD. I bought a new desktop (Lenovo Gaming IdeaCentre Computer, Y710 Cube-15).
