Windows 7 fails to boot after cloning it into large drive (3 tb), with motherboard supporting UEFI

Windows 7 fails to boot after cloning it into large drive (3 tb), with motherboard supporting UEFI

Situation:
I had ASROCK P67 Pro 3 P2.0 motherboard with 1 tb disc drive with Windows 7 Home Premium x64. I just bought 3 tb disc (Seagate Barracude). I used Seagate disc tool to clone 1 tb into 3 tb with partition resizing (with single partition - not counting that 100 mb Windows partition), than I deatached 1 tb drive (the only remaining is 3 tb).
When I'm trying to boot from "Windows Boot Manager" as 1st boot device, I got BlInitializeLibrary failed 0xc0000001 and when I'm trying to boot from that drive as 1st boot device I got MBR Boot Failed 1
I googled a lot and found out that I need to boot in UEFI mode instead of BIOS mode, but I can't find that option anywhere in my UEFI control panel of motherboard.
I also tried to put in Windows 7 cd disc and use "Repair computer", but it failed as well with "This version of Windows is not supported" error message (it's the same disc I've installed from)
What am I missing?
