<p>Hello colleagues,</p>
<p>We have 5 HP Pro 3500 Series MT desktop units used by the public. All bought at the same time with the same specs from the same people. In April or May 2018 we replaced the hard drives with Kingston SSDs so they would be faster.</p>
<p>Early in August 2019 we came in one day and OPLIN 1 and 2 were just fine, but 3, 4, and 5 showed "Cannot boot". I've attached a screenshot.</p>
<p>New Kingston SSDs did not solve the problem, so we replaced them with Intel SSDs in OPLIN 3 and 4 last Thursday. We re-installed the original hard drive in OPLIN 5 since we could only get 2 Intel SSDs.</p>
<p>Today OPLINs 3 and 4 show the same "cannot boot" error, while 1 and 2 (on the original Kingston SSDs), and 5 (on the original harddrive it came with) are humming along just fine. Argh!</p>
<p>We are at our wit's end, especially with school starting back up. Any suggestions?</p>
<p>Thanks,</p>
<p>Lynne</p>
