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??              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
