I NEED HELP!!!! So I recently cloned my 2tb hdd to my 1tb ssd no problem. I did this, without realizing that my other hdd was the primary boot drive and part of the reason I bought an ssd was for faster boots and the other was to backup my 2tb hdd due to it being 7 years old and even though it shows as 'healthy', I didnt wanna take any chances, so I basically decided to clear my ssd after having my 2tb hdd cloned onto it, in order to make that my boot drive, but me not thinking straight realized that I would have bought a 1tb hdd for nothing and would have faired better with just a 120gb or less ssd, if I was just trying to make that my boot drive. EDIT: The cloning process for my boot drive 160GB HDD to my new 120GB SSD worked fine with ShadowMaker.

My Issue: I decided to buy another ssd use that as boot and re-clone all my 2TB HDD files onto my 1TB SSD, the problem is that everytime I attempt to use the program I used before it pop up this exact error. And I have tried using your mehtod and a few others(including one other program I decided to use after the error on the first) to fix this issue but nothing seems to work. I was wondering if you can help me resolve this issue. I have tried using: Mini tool ShadowMaker, and Macrium Reflect, with no resolve. Edit: So I didn't mention this earlier due to the fact that I couldn't remember the other error, but I found out that after trying to resolve this error and trying the clone process again another error would occur known as "Disk D:\ is not accessible. - The parameter is incorrect". After resolving this issue it would then cause the original error to occur once again, and basically has me caught in an endless loop.

I boot into windows 10 using my 2tb hdd, and use the program I downloaded. I have the asus-z370a MoBo. With all this in mind, I would like to let you know that as soon as I had posted this, I magically was able to get it to successfully clone. I literally just clicked it again expecting it to fail only for it to actually give me an actual estimated time of transfer. Although, I spent weeks trying to solve this issue, so at this point, this is to help others with the same issues.
