However, you will need to look at the user manual to see which key you need to press during the boot process to get to the temporary boot menu to enable you to boot from the USB. If not then you’ll need to boot from the Macrium Rescue USB and there is an option to fix boot problems. ‘what you need to do is to disconnect the old HDD and try booting. When Windows sees this it takes the cloned disk offline to avoid the problem. Please help! thank you!!Cloning creates a disk that is identical to the existing one and that is why you have a disk signature collision. It does not show up in "my computer" as a drive right now. So, Should I use this "rescue" usb that I just made (and HOW do I do that?), or re-clone the drive? HOW do I re-clone it if I can't get it "online". In the cloned ssd where it should say Windows C and Lenovo D, it is blank except for the size. it does show what I think are partitions for each one and records most of them as "healthy". I went in device management and found that the SDD is "offline" because it has a "signature collision" with another disk. My laptop won't recognize the sdd connected by usb now. I had recently uninstalled Norton (xfinity) but I guess it defaulted back to the OLD norton that came with the machine and wanted to install itself. I figured maybe I should just try recloning it because during the clone some old Norton pop up came on. It said something about recovery tools (in Macrium I assume) which I had not known about so I put back in the old hdd and used macrium to create something (I forget what they call it, but it's for recovery). I am NOT tech savvy, but can follow youtube etc. It also said somewhere that file:\windows\system32\winload.efi was missing or had errors. I thought it went fine, but when I installed it is said "device isn't connected or can't be accessed- 0xc0000225". I used macrium reflect (free) instead of the samsung software because samsung said it would erase my hdd and I didn't want to do that. I have a 1tb hdd that I am trying to clone to a 1 tb samsung evo ssd.
