No, I did not do this. I accidentally converted the drives to dynamic when I was trying to delete the HDD's C: drive and it prompted me that it has to be converted first. I will move my data to an external hard disk and wipe the older one completely.

Hi, I have cloned my Windows to second disk, meaning my first disk's C: drive and the three related partitions are not in use anymore. I formatted the C drive. But I cannot delete the other three partitions. Also, the formatted C: drive shows up correctly as unallocated space, but cannot be used...

Done. I thank you both for providing such a detailed guidance and I will condense this material in an article as well to those experiencing similar problems. I am booting from my SSD now, will format HDD C drive, and it's much faster!

Can you tell me the steps to fix the bad sectors using Victoria? I've installed it.

Can you please tell me how to fix these "unstable sectors"? Any link to the software is appreciated because the two names you gave are only "floppy executables".

I'd like to do that. Do you mean this software by MHDD: https://hddguru.com/software/2005.10.02-MHDD/

Yes, there is an error. Here:

Are there any source drive specific guidelines I have to follow?

Clone fails again even when I leave out #5 (the not enough space error doesn't come and cloning begins). Here is the full error: Clone failed - Error 0 - Read failed - 23 - Data error (cyclic redundancy check).-m_pSegmentToRestore->m_FileSystem.ReadFile- WriteFilemSystemData failed-...

No, it doesn't. Okay, I will do it without #5. I guess recovery partitions cannot be cloned, that's why this error.

Still not getting copied, even when I freed up 1.5GB. Also tried not copying #3, the problem with #5 exists.

The Cloned Partition Properties of the #4 shows this:

Ok, so now it says insufficient space. As you can see in the image below, #5 is not getting copied. There is indeed empty space, but #5 just can't make it to the second disk. It is the recovery partition. I tried only dropping #5 onto the new disk, and it works, but then I can't add others...

What's convulated? I only have the C drive with 275 GB as the system partition. Don't the three other partitions (450MB, 99MB, 523MB) get created automatically by Windows, don't they? So basically I have to select these three different partitions along with the main C partition and then clone...

The F is SSD I suppose. I had it named Windows (S:) prior, I think the cloning process changed that. It has become a raw partition now and isn't accessible anymore after the failed cloning (haven't formatted).
