After cloning a larger HDD to a smaller SSD, you will most likely face a blinking cursor or other boot issues. The following steps should get you back on track from a rescue command prompt:
bootrec.exe /fixmbr
bootsect.exe /nt60 all /force
bootrec.exe /rebuildbcd
If you are getting integrity check errors on winload.exe, you can try this:
bcdedit.exe /set {bootmgr} nointegritychecks ON
bcdedit.exe /set {default} nointegritychecks ON
If you are having registry issues (complaining that it’s corrupt or missing), you can try the following (assuming your system drive is C):
bcdedit.exe /set {bootmgr} device partition=C:
bcdedit.exe /set {default} device partition=C:
