   Too late now!!   
   I had a 250Gb ssd in a intel NUC, which had just started giving me a few   
   problems. I decided to buy a HO G4 prodesk 400 sff with dual displays   
   off  ebay.   
      
   It arrived today and I install the cloned ssd in to the HP G4. When it   
   booted up there what looked like a string of mac addresses??   
     then it booted into the desktop. But only 1 display was working, which   
   is not what I want.   
      
   I then decided to replace the cloned ssd back into the Intel NUC, but   
   because of it being in the HP G4, it now doesn't boot, and neither does   
   the 250Gb ssd as I also tried that in both the HP G4 and then back in   
   the Intel NUG   
      
   So I don't know what I can do now, as even a linux bootable usb stick   
   won't load up, and In can't get into the BIOS nor does the F10 key work   
   as the NUC just boots into the where it produces the mac addresses string??
