Just spent hours copying a SATA drive to an SSD.

Looks good until I swapped drives and now nothing…

Anyone have any idea what else I can do?

Hello @albiehenderson,

Thank you for posting on the [Startech.com](http://Startech.com) Community.

I am sorry to hear you experienced some trouble after using USB2SATAIDE.

Can I please ask:  
- What is the make and model of the drive you used with USB2SATAIDE?  
- How did you copy the data? Ex Drag and drop the files, cloning software, etc.?  
- Was the drive you were copying from your computer’s boot drive or an additional data drive?  
- If you connect the drive to USB2SATAIDE again as an external drive, is your data still present?

This information can help us determine what may have happened.

I look forward to hearing back from you.

Lukas T
