Please help! Got my herobook today and immedialty set about installing SSD in the expansion bay. Followed this tutorial to the letter.

Went to restart my Herobooo. Starts as normal but eventually it gets to the cursor with a Blue Spinning Circle. How can I fix this? When I enter the BIOS the boot order is the SSD. Have I bricked this machine already?

Any help is really appreciated.

Step " Cloning to a smaller or a larger hard drive" sometimes breaks boot. If you done this step perhaps most easiest way is to reinstall windows.
