Replace HHD with SSD as system drive problem....

Hopefully someone can help me out!

I want to upgrade 320GB HHD to SSD on my X230.
I use mSATA as booting device that is identified as SATA2 (in BIOS).
I replaced HHD by an SSD that is identified as SATA0 in BIOS.
SSD is set with higher boot priority than mSATA in BIOS.

Before upgrading to SSD, I made a system image backup on external USB drive.

When I boot my X230 with SYSTEM RECOVERY CD, it turned out that mSATA is DISK0 and SSD is DISK1 and I can not recover system image to the newly installed SSD.

Actually I have done the same procedure before. When I added mSATA, I followed the same procedure to recover system image to mSATA and it worked perfectly!

What should I do?

Physically remove/disconnect the mSata drive. Run the recovery disk with only the SSD drive installed. Reconnect the mSata drive after the OS is installed.
