Hi there! I recently bought a E1 572-6676 acer laptop.  I had a ssd here.  It's a sandisk #SDSSDH 120g G25. I put win 8.1 on it.  It boot very well when i put the ssd on a USB port (with an adapter) but when i put it at the place of the HDD, it does'nt want to boot!  I have alway critical process screen!  I tried a lot of thing...  Clone the disk, put an image, boot secure able, boot secur disable, with UEFI, with LEGACY...  So now, i'm a the limit of my knowledge...  Can someone please help me?  Got an idea?? And, oh, i'm sorry for my english, i'm from Quebec, i speak french...  So if there's some mistake, i beg your pardon!

You simply could connect your SSD to the internal SATA connector and install Windows 8 from USB-Stick or CD/DVD. This would automatically solve your problems. Do not install Windows 8 on another computer and insert the installed harddisk into your notebook. That doesn't work.

I tried this a lot of time with a lot of way!  It does'nt work at all! I'm thinking it's a problem with ssd and bios...

Found it!  The connection between the ssd and the msata of the computer was a little "loose". very very little. So sometimes the ssd was see by the bios (UEFI) and sometimes, the bios lost the ssd...  I tried another ssd and it was all perfect.
