I have a Dell Studio XPS 8100 with W7Pro. All drivers have been updated and are working correctly.
I have cloned (clone software reported a successful Clone w/verification) a Samsung 850 1 TB drive from my current 1TB WD hard drive.
When I switch the power and sata cables to the SS drive and attempt to boot from it, at first I got a message that no boot device was available. I changed the boot order and moved the Samsung SS into the first position and now it flies past the screen showing the windows 7 selected as the OS but with the next screen, it is black with a blinking white - in the upper left hand corner and will go no further.
Is there anything else I should do to try and get the computer to boot into windows using this new drive? I'm technically challenged so please give me steps if other actions are required.
My thanks, MEL
