(edit: solved. For whatever reason the SSD didn't have an EFI
partition and Win8 wasn't installed on a GPT partition...
So it didn't show up as bootable UEFI device)
Hey ,
Been fiddling around with it now for one day but didn't get it running.
Guess I need some help...
My notebook had a hardware defect... so I removed the SSD and sent
it to the hardware service provider.
Yesterday I received the repaired notebook but I totally fail in setting
up UEFI so it would boot from the SSD again (with my old Win installation).
When installing Win 8 it was probably all handled automatically.
But now I'm lost...
There's a "Windows Boot Manager" entry in the UEFI but it points to the
hard disc... and I can't select the SSD.
(It's detected as Hard Disk 1 in the UEFi's info tab though)
There is a BOOTMGR file in the SSD's root.
