My vexing situation began when I bought a new ssd Crucial 1TB. The main idea was that I was to clone my old dying (still dying) hdd onto it. It's recognized by windows and everything. But when I try to install certain programs to do a clone (I tried 3, got the same error for every single one of them). It came down to an error within windows that is iPersist 0x80070002 Error. I can't clone my old dying hdd to ssd because of this. I don't want a fresh install of windows either.
