Windows 7 Fails to Boot - "autochk program not found, skipping autocheck"

I ran into this issue when cloning a hard drive to solid state recently. This can be caused when cloning a drive with an EFI Windows Boot partition. 

Fixing the issue requires booting into the Windows Diagnostic and Repair menu (DaRT). From there, open a command prompt and type in "regedit" to modify the registry of the cloned Windows install. 

Navigate to HKLM\System\MountedDevices and rename the entire MountedDevices directory. This will cause Windows to reload these entries and your drive should boot into Windows.
