0xc000000e problem after new ssd

Question

Hello all,

Today i have bought a brand new samsung s900 ssd for a laptop i have been using for 6 years.After the instalation everythinf went fine.I have partitioned the new disk as D: but because the main goal was to switch windows to the brand new ssd,after i have made sure everything worked i used Disk genious to copy all the information at the original C drive to D(just in case I made sure to copy sensible data).And after that I went to bios to change the booting drive to brand new samsung one.After the migration since everything was working i went on and cleared everything on the old drive to make up some brand new space using cmd.Now the old drive doesn't show up on Bios and im getting 0xc000000e errors.Can't secure boot or acces to cmd either.I am open to any suggestions or solutions preferably one that doesn't include a complete video since I really enjoy my current windows version

Hi Bora Efe GÜLÇİN

It sounds like the clone copied Windows but not all of the required boot files. This is a common cause of 0xc000000e after migrating to a new SSD and then wiping the original drive. The data on the new SSD is likely still intact, but the boot configuration may need to be repaired.

I recommend creating a Windows installation USB, booting from it, and running Startup Repair first. If that doesn't help, open Command Prompt from the recovery environment and rebuild the boot records using:

bootrec /fixmbr
bootrec /fixboot
bootrec /scanos
bootrec /rebuildbcd

These steps often restore bootability without requiring a clean installation.

Before proceeding, verify in BIOS that the Samsung SSD and its Windows Boot Manager entry are selected as the primary boot device.
