Acer Spin SP515-51N-51GH HDD upgrade

Viktors69 · December 2019

I bought Acer Spin SP515-51N-51GH, I decided to replace the HDD with an SSD. Installed SAMSUNG 860 EVO 500 GB. After turning on the POWER button, “no bootable device" appeared on the screen. Please tell me how to solve this problem? Currently, I put back the HDD disk, everything is working fine.

Hi,
Is this a 2.5" SSD or a M.2 SATA SSD?

It's a 2.5 'SSD

Did you clone the old drive onto the new SSD? If not then the needed boot partitions aren't there. I believe you should have a total of four partitions, 1 100MB one, the C: drive, a 450MB one and a last one that's 1GB or a bit larger. You need all four and everything except the C: drive needs to be the same size as the original.

I did not clone the old drive to the new SSD. When I installed the SSD drive, it was not detected in the BIOS. As if there was nothing there. Is that normal, should it be?
