Can't get a Crucial SSD to work on my Lenovo Flex 3

[tgsampsonmd]

I cloned a crucial 860 GB SSD from the Drive on the Lenovo Flex 3 and it won't boot. I brought up the Novo screen, and any selection such as boot screen leaves the screen blank for 5 min, then brings up the boot sequence, choosing the SSD still doesn't boot. Did Lenovo burn something that can't be copied into the original HDD? Any suggestions. The original HDD works if reinstalled.

Hi tgsampsonmd,

Definitely SSD from Crucial won't work with Lenovo Flex 3. I've bought a Flex 3 and I already had a SSD MX200 from my old laptop. I tried different ways to get my SSD running on my Flex 3, but unfortunately Flex 3 did not recognize that Crucial model. So, I bought another SSD ( Samsung EVO ) and it is working very well.
