I turned my PC on yesterday and left the room, when I came back it prompted me to hit a key to cancel Chkdsk, I was too late and it already started doing it's thing. It has been about 14 hours now and it is only at 18% progress with an ETA of 65 hours and increasing. I haven't really had...

So, I bought a new SSD to replace the existing SSD boot drive in my laptop. I first plugged the new SSD in using a SATA USB adapter and cloned the existing boot partition to it using Macrium. I then made a recovery USB using the same program. After doing this, I replaced the old SSD with the...

I am currently running a i7-7700k build but am upgrading to an all new setup. New MB, CPU, RAM etc etc. I'd like to be able to copy everything off my C drive, also my Windows/boot, which is a 512GB SSD and put it on my new 2TB M.2 drive. I'm trying to avoid having to do a reinstall of windows...

Hi, I looked around here and couldn't solve my problem. My HDD had a smart fail (reallocated sector count ), but could still boot on it. So I bought an ssd (860 QVO Samsung). I used easeUS partition master to clone my hdd to my ssd, with no errors encountered, it looks like this: View...

Hi, currently, I use SATA SSD on my HP ProBook 440 G4 (it has both SATA and M2 slots) where I have Windows 10 Education (v1909) installed. I bought a new m.2 SSD and would like to use the OS to this disk and use then the slot where SATA SSD was for HDD as data storage. Storage specs: current...

Hey Guys - After issues with my 512gb ADATA M2 SSD, I had to RMA it. Therefore, I used Macrium Reflect to clone all of its partitions directly to a 256gb Samsung 850 Pro. I did so, shut down, disconnected the M2, then booted back up to the 850 without issues. Recently, the RMA came back and...

I bought a SSD and want to clone my HDD to the SSD and make SSD as primary boot drive. I just want a short and easy step by step guide before i start. What i know so far is - you clone the HDD to the SSD then restart your PC and open up for the BIOS and make the SSD as primary boot up. And then...

So on my laptop with 2 sata drive bays, I cloned my HDD to the new SSD. Cloning went great. I took the original (source) HDD out of the laptop after shutdown. I then started it up and it booted PERFECTLY on the new SSD. I then took the old HDD and hooked it up via SATA onto my desktop, and...

So i have brought a crucial ssd (1TB) and when it came I wanted to move everything from my hdd to sdd so yea i cloned it using acronis (im new to all this). Once cloned i could boot off from my ssd and then i was going to wipe the hdd to use as storage but when i went to the devices and drivers...

Hi. Windows 7 Ultimate x86 It was on my original 1TB Western Digital HDD. After several consecutive PC crashes it doesn't boot anymore. After the BIOS POST there appears a blinking underscore in the top left corner, and it stays in that state forever. (I don't want to perform a clean Windows...

I have a 7 year old 1TB HDD that is probably on its way out. (Running slow) I have a new 500gb SSD arriving today. I already recently upgraded from windows 7 to 10 on the old HDD. Apparently there is free software by EaseUS that should allow me to clone across windows 10. But it costs money...

I have a 2TB HDD that I'm looking to clone over to a 250GB SSD. I've uninstalled a bunch of apps and have the drive down to about 440GB now. I mainly want the SSD for booting and the primary games I play. I'm confused about the exclude function of the Samsung Data Migration Tool. It appears that...

So I recently bought a 250GB 860 evo m.2 ssd, and I want to move ONLY the windows from the hdd to the ssd. But since it is impossible to pick which file to clone, so I was thinking to clone the local disk c to the ssd using the samsung data migration, then switch the boot order to ssd, and...

I have an old Dell laptop I want to give some new life and speed. Since SSDs are now so cheap I figure that would be the best way. The current HDD is small, I believe its a 320GB so I plan on getting a 500GB SSD. I dont however have a recovering disk/drive for the machine since when I bought...

Hi all, I'm having a problem with my SSD. I was cloning my 640gb HDD (with only about 400gb data) to my new 512gb SSD using EASUS Todo Backup. Somehow it failed in the process. I do not exactly remember the error, but after it, my SSD capacity shrinks to only 1gb (unallocated). I've tried...

So, I have a 2TB HDD which is split into 2 different partitions, my system partition (C, 500GB) and another partition for games and stuff (with the remaining 1.5TB). I recently bought a 500GB SSD and i want to clone ONLY my C partition so i downloaded EaseUS Partition Master and when i tried to...

Just wondering, can u clone an SSD e.g. 500gb to m.2 500gb or the m.2 should have bigger capacity? edit: SATA III -> NVMe.

I am using 120 GB SSD as a primary storage and have installed Windows there. I am planning to upgrade it to 500 GB SSD as the space in 120 GB SSD is not sufficient enough. I have installed many Apps and few games on my primary drive. If i clone the data of 120 GB SSD to 500 GB SSD, Will i...

Hi, I recently cloned my SSD C drive from my old HDD using Samsung Migration Software. I put the SSD in my Lenovo USM bay (which is like eSATA). The PC detects it but when I boot to it, its says there is no OS found. After searching a little I found it may be because I only cloned the C...

I'm getting a new laptop to tide me over until I can settle down with a nice tower setup down the line, and was wondering about cloning and back up solutions. It is a Lenovo Legion Y740-15IRHg with a PCIe NVMe drive. I left the 2.5" SATA bay empty in the build as I have some SSD's that I can...

I upgraded my System SSD from 250gb to 1TB. I used Macrium Reflect and asked for the entire disk to be Cloned. It completed and looked fine. I did not unplug the existing SSD but changed the boot priority and re-booted. All seemed fine. Alas, what was happening was that it was trying the Clone...

I cloned a 500 GB SSD to a new 2TB SSD but unfortunately the new 2TB SSD is only showing as a 500GB drive when I right click on it in Explorer. I have tried to run DiskMgmt.msc and extend the partition, but the option to extend it is greyed out. You can see a picture of what the drive partitions...

I have 2 systems: "Old Computer" and "Older Prebuilt Computer." They each have only 1 hard drive disk as the storage. They each have their own Windows. Older Prebuilt Computer was a bought at Best Buy in '09, and still runs the original Windows 7. Old Computer is one I built in 2013, and has...

Sorry if this has been posted before but I did some searching and couldn't find any answers. I recently purchased an SSD and have been using it as my primary boot drive. Unfortunately, it has started failing and I need to return it. I have to send the drive in for return before I will receive...

Im new to ssd’s but i recently bought a kingspec m.2 nvme ssd and installed it. At first i cloned my hdd OS on to it and it worked fine but games wouldnt run because the system would just lock up every time i launch a game. After a few days i couldnt even boot the system because it was locking...

So a bit of context, i'm getting a new SSD and want to run windows and a few programs off it for the boot speed but keep my current HDD for files and what not. My HDD is 1TB (has about 600gb on it) and the SSD is 500GB so wont fit everything. I dont really know much about this so potential dumb...

I finally bought an SSD for my Windows 10 Home desktop. It's the same size as my old HDD, 500GB. I cloned the HDD successfully via Norton Ghost 2003 on a bootable DVD (I know it's obsolete, but the function and filesystem are still the same since NTFS). When I booted the cloned SSD alone, the...

Hey all, First post in the forum, but definitely not my last (I use this as a reference a ton). So, question is... I built a budget desktop PC (MB- Pro 4, 1500x, 1060 3Gb, 16Gb, 120Gb M.2, 1TB HDD), and am running out of room on my main (C:/ drive. I have moved many apps over to a Barracuda 1TB...

Hello all! I have an activated copy of Windows 10 on my main PC. However, I will be moving and will be without that computer for up to 2 months. I want to clone the OS (Win10 plus all my apps and settings) to a laptop in the meantime. There might be a bit of an overlap, meaning I would have...

When cloning a new SSD if I minimize the NTFS Primary (C) from the previous drive does that mean that on the new drive I will have no more space on the C: drive? Would the best option (if I want maximum space on the new C drive) be to maximize ntfs primary? Thanks!

I am trying to clone my hard drive which has only 256gb on it with Macrium Reflect but it keeps telling me there is not enough space!! The Source drive is a 512gb ssd with only 256gb used, the target is a 465gb external HDD. Whats the deal? I assume a clone is a bit bigger than whats just on my...

I used Macrium Reflect to clone the HDDs to SSDs on a Dell Optiplex 9020, 790, and 390. It only worked on the 9020 and not the other two. All 3 of the clones took about half an hour, and all of the partitions were the same size. Just on the Dell Optiplex 390 and 790 they won't boot. They both...

I have an industrial robot arm running Win95. I want to make several backup drives to keep for hot swap backups. What tool should I use to get an exact copy of the original drive?

Okay so I have the SSD cloned from the HHD. I had intended to use a different Drive letter for the new drive, will changing that in Disk Management cause an issue? And the main reason, since it renamed the SSD to match the other HDD, the HDD is not showing up in My PC obviously. In Disk...
