[SOLVED] debug assertion failed _crtisvalidheappointer samsung ssd

Solution
So the desire is to clone the Window OS - correct?

Overall my thought is that you hold on the current process and reconsider the options available.

I am not familar with the Samsung Data Migration software per se - it may not be offering you the full flexibility necessary.

You can use other similar tools (free versions) such as Macrium Reflect or EaseUS To-do.

As is always recommended, back up your...
Did you get the target disk and the source disk mixed up/reversed?

The screenshot link indicates that the source disk is 931 GB and target disk is 233 GB.

The target disk is full.

However, such things are usually checked during cloning/migration activities. Should not have even tried or at least presented some message stating that source was bigger than the target.




 



the ssd "target disk" is clean, there's nothing on it currently and it said i needed a bigger one but it let me exclude some things from the migration and after that i could proceed with it but this error popped up and retrying it gives me another and it's just stuck from there, i'm thinking of pressing ignore, is that a good idea or?




 
Pressing ignore is a bad idea.

The present size difference between drives is so great that even excluding some things with respect to the migration did not reduce the size difference enough.

Even if the clone does successfully complete the target drive is likely to be so full that its' performance will be very slow and prone to errors. Even crashes.

Bottom line: You need a much larger target drive.
 

well on my source disk only 380gb is used and i've excluded files so now only 130gb will be sent to my ssd, isn't that enough or?
and for example i won't be able to migrate the os on the ssd, is there any chance i may wipe the source disk and have the os only there and then migrate it?

As is always recommended, back up your data folders and files. Be sure to verify that those files are readable/recoverable.

Read the links, plan out the migration step by step and then go forward.
