Hello,

I attempted to clone a disk to another using the AOMEI Partition Assistant tool. Although the cloning process appeared to be successful, when I tried to boot from the cloned disk, it immediately displayed a blue screen error with code 0xc00000e. Selecting F1 for recovery environment resulted in a reboot to the same screen, while choosing F8 for startup settings flashed the screen briefly with no further action. Even repeatedly pressing F8 during boot did not bring up the recovery environment.

I then tried rebuilding the Master Boot Record (MBR) using the AOMEI tool, but it did not resolve the issue. The clone disk is a Micron SATA SSD connected to another PC via a SATA to USB adapter. Unfortunately, I do not have a USB flash drive to create a bootable media using the official Windows tool.

I downloaded the Windows 10 ISO, mounted it virtually, and ran the setup. However, the setup only offered to install on the current system drive and did not provide an option to repair another Windows installation on the SSD connected via USB.

Is there a way to repair the Windows 10 installation on the cloned drive using the resources I have available? I have another working laptop with Windows 11 and the SATA USB adapter, but no USB flash drive. I suspect the recovery partition may be faulty or missing, although it was likely the same on the original disk, as the recovery does not run and the recovery partition shows only a small amount of available space.

I have access to the original drive from which the clone was made, but I should not make any modifications to it to avoid any risks with the data.

Thank you for your assistance; this is crucial for me. Best wishes.
