Macrium cloned disk missing partitions. Please help

I cloned my old ssd to a new ssd but it wouldnt boot. created a recovery media but it still did not work. Macrium successfully cloned my old disk to the new one. Or so it says. The logs even confirm that the clone was successful. But for some reason my pc cannot detect my new ssd and it shows up in disk management as having an unallocated partition. On macrium I can see the disk but it shows only two partitions with the rest being empty. Only my first 2 partitions show up. The partitiong thats supposed to contain the most things vanished somehow. Please help

Do you still have old disk available?
Can you boot with old disk ( new disk connected) and show screenshot from Disk Management?
(upload to imgur.com and post link)
The old disk is still available and bootable. Only the new disk has issues. Imgur is currently not responding. What alternatives can I use?

Redo cloning.
You cloned only first 2 partitions.

Note - after cloning is done, you have to disconnect old drive physically for first boot from cloned drive.
If you fail to follow this, you'll have to redo cloning again.

Also - if you have fast boot enabled in BIOS, then disable it.
And disable fast startup in windows.
I cloned all partitions and the logs even prove it. Which is why I don't know why this is happening. It even took a long time to clone so how come only two partitions ended up being cloned???
 
In windows you can turn off Fast Startup by disabling hibernation.
From elevated command prompt execute
powercfg -h off

To turn off Fast Boot, you have to go into BIOS,
find Fast Boot setting and disable it.
For different motherboards this setting can be located in different places.
If you have a problem finding it, then you'd have to find your motherboard model first.
You can find model name with CPU-Z - motherboard section.
