[SOLVED] Error 9 on OS copy with macrium reflect

[jollypirate]

Got a new drive and I want to clone my OS to it since it is faster than my current boot drive. I get an "error 9: reached the end of file (38)" no matter what i try.
I have run chkdsk, ccleaner, turned off AV, checked drive for bad sectors, gave it more free space, checked sectors (all fine), ran the clone in forensic mode and nothing helped.
It stops at the end of the C partition, if i clone the last partition manually there is no issues but the drive wont boot, so im guessing its failing to copy some important windows system files
Both drives are 1TB
Anyone know of anything else i can try?

Give us a description of both the source drive and target.

Also, a screencap of your Disk Management window.

This type of fail generally indicates a fault with the source drive.

Original drive is a WD SN750, new one is a WD SN 850X, both 1TB
I know it is supposed to indicate a fault with the original drive but i just cant seem to find it

it always gets stuck on \\?\GLOBALROOT\DEvice\HarddiskVolumeShadowCopy3

Sounds like a fail point on the source drive.

Wouldn't the surface scan or crystaldisk flag it then?

Maybe, maybe not.

In any case, this clone operation has failed.

Solved it myself. Did a new install of windows on a third drive then made the clone of the original drives on the fresh install. No issues, currently writing booted from the new drive

If you did a fresh install, why didn't you do that install on the drive you wanted it on?
Or am I missing something?

Like I said, i did a fresh win install on a third drive, just some old 128gig sata SSD i had laying around. Then i installed macrium reflect on that and cloned from the old m.2 to the new one while booted on the 128gb sata. In other word I saved myself almost a TB of downloads and hours of tinkering

OK, I guess.
