Cloning of a HHD to SDS

Recently I bought an SSD and used Macrium Reflect to clone my HHD (Bootable with OS; Windows7) to the SDS. The process went well, connecting the SSD to the same port MB as the HARD drive has been connected, PC started and and works fine.

I chose only the sector of the OS on the HARD drive to clone for the SSD (he had a partition D:\ Image factory; didn't clone because the image was Vista, and Desktop was Win7 upgrade... 32 bit..) the new SSD cloned with 2 Partitions... (the C:\drive SSD is a 240 GB drive)... the size of the OS Patition C:\ cloned about 224GB and the difference in a D:\ Partition.

Since I only cloned Partition to the OS, is there a reason for the cloning process has created 2 Partitions? The D:\ is empty and usable. Tried to contact Macrium; they will not respond...

Hi Denmarfl,

Sorry for the delay in responding.

As you clone your HARD drive, your question of Windows is more complex than what is generally answered in the Microsoft Answers forums. Appropriate in the TechNet forums.

Please post your question in the Windows 7 IT Pro TechNet Forums: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/home?category=w7itpro

Thank you.

  • Windows 7 does not start after the C disk cloning

    I got a new SSD and hope to clone my drive C for the SSD, then start with the SSD. I cloned the C drive using the software that came with my SSD (NTI Echo iirc). Cloning is completed and the system stops. I started the PC and went to the start menu to change the boot for the SSD device. It wouldn't start up, gives me the following error: "cannot start Windows. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. "Then it tells me to insert the Windows installation disc (that I have not since he's back in the States and I currently live in the Japan) to fix the computer. Boot from my original HDD with SSD unplugged gives me the status code "0xc000000e." Boot from the SSD with the original HHD unplugged gives me the status code "0xc0000225." Info for both was, "the boot selection failed because a required device is not accessible."

    I made a recovery disk using my laptop (which I am currently working on) and started via CD/DVD. The System Recovery Options appears and Windows 7 appears on the list, but the size of the partition is 0 and the location says '(unknown) '. I can't click Next or whatever it is because it's just loading all the time.

    I tried to go into the system recovery on the first screen (where you enter in the start menu, etc.) and by pressing F11 (System Recovery) doesn't do anything.

    My PC is a HP a6614f. I've updated the PSU with a 500W modular one and put in a dedicated GPU. Everything worked fine until I cloned the drive C on the SSD and now no player starts. The primary HHD is partitioned into two with Windows and programs installed on the C drive (personal files are on drive D partition). Drive C was 103 GB and my SSD has 119 GB of free space so I don't think it should be a matter of space.

    I am at the end of my tether here since I don't know why the hell my C drive cloning should affect the original drive. At least, I should be able to boot off the original drive, otherwise the SSD. really need my PC to work (with or without the SSD) so any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

    Has managed to solve my problem. All I needed was a Windows 7 installation disc for 'repair my computer.' I managed to download (legally) of Digital River and after that he did his thing, I was able to start my new SSD. Whoo Hoo!

  • E5-432: replace the HDD with SDS

    I of the E5 Aspire-432, that come stock with a 500 GB HDD, I would like to exchange for a SDS in the future. I found not yet no info via Google or this forum.

    Anyone has any info on this? Is there an available maintenance manual detailing how to replace the HARD drive in the e5-432?

    Would be-I just need to clone the HDD to the SDS, the Exchange and start?

    Thanks for any info

    UPDATE: I just did the swap HDD/SDD in the Aspire E5-432. It is very easy to do.

    It starts now less than 15 seconds. Much snappier.

    Prepare the SDS:

    1 installation Drive Clone or as software

    2 connect the SDS, via USB and to clone the HDD to SDS - cloning took about 1 1/2 hours with a USB2 cable

    Note: leaving the size of the partition that DriveClone wouldn not (not enough message space), I reduced the main partition of about 400 MB and everything went well

    Remove the HARD drive:

    1. power off the laptop, remove all the screws from the bottom and crack open

    2. a screw holds the HARD drive in case tray, remove

    3. a screw holds the USB/audio jack PCB, remove it

    4. on the audio jack USB PCB, lift the lever to release for USB/audio cable

    5. on the motherboard, raise the white lever for USB/audio cable that is stuck on the plateau of HARD drive

    6. remove the taking USB/audio PCB and right speaker held in place with eyelets pink silicone

    7. slide the HARD drive to the right tray, can he get out of it

    8. remove the 2 screws from the HARD drive tray

    9 FLEX tray by pressing the top middle holding the sides, push the HARD drive from the open side. Trying to force the HARD drive does not work out with tools

    Do the reverse steps to put SDS in, reboot, enjoy!

    Worth it!

  • HP Envy Touchsmart j122TX 15: cloning of HARD drive for an SSD and installation on HP Envy Touchsmart 15 j122TX

    I will replace an old 1 TB HHD by a new 1 TB SSD Samsung 850 EVO on my HP Envy 15 Touchsmart j122TX. I also have Acronis True Image 2015. How can I go on cloning of the HDD to the SSD and installing the SSD on my HP, implementation of the operating system in order to ensure a good performance? Please give me step by step instructions I'm inexperienced. Thank you for your support.

    You need a bootable media because you cannot clone Windows player while it is in use. If you start another source (bootable support) leaving the main hard drive passive and quiet, so it can be copied sector to the new clean disk. I explained you start from the Acronis Disk and when the interface is in place you select "utility" and one of them is 'clone disk '. This is how you use the bootable disc in the cloning process.

    As with the post before me you simply remove the MSSD. However, in this case the user would do a clean install. Cloning will be hover over the driver of storage for the SSD controller and will not have to load the RAID driver separately. The way you do it is much easier.  I would like to dissociate the WSSD since the main hard drive using Intel Rapid Storage (disable acceleration), remove the WSSD and start-up of the former hard drive without the WSSD in place one or two times before cloning.

  • Question of cloning for SSD upgrade on 12 Macbook Pro

    Previously, I did an upgrade to SSD on my Macbook Air to 2012 according to the instructions of JetDrive transcend. Basically connection via USB 3 and using Mac OS X to clear (and format) disc utilities new SSD, then restore again SSD and then remove the original 128 GB SSD and insert the new 480 GB SSD.  For about a month and so far without problem.

    Now I'm trying to 2012 Macbook upgrade my Pro partner (on 10.11.6).  I got a Crucial SSD MX300 to replace his HARD drive.  Crucial comes with (or recommend) Acronis software.  And a lot of the messages of the forum recommend Carbon Copy Clone.

    My question is if I can use the same method for the cloning of the HD as my Macbook Air (just restore disk of Mac OS X utilities)?  This time, I'm upgrading HARD drive and I don't know if something is different.  At the same time, if I got lucky the first time, I don't not ruin Macbook Pro my spouse this time.

    Thank you.

    Yes, you can use disk utility to clone your MBP wives, but unlike CCC, it will not clone the recovery and Partition.

  • Cloning of SSD HD via active with Filevault disk utility

    Hi all

    I want to improve my HD to SSD.

    I intend on using disk utility for recovery mode to clone my HD to a Virgin SSD I bought.

    I must, however, Filevault enabled on my HD.

    It will be a problem when it comes to cloning the drive?

    Thank you

    Adam

    No, it shouldn't be a problem. It may be necessary first turn on FileVault and encrypt the SSD. But if there is no problem just turn off FileVault on the HARD drive.

  • Is cloning with disk utility (10.11), reliable? Can you do trust sound check?

    I cloned a 4 to with bad sectors (according to DriveDx) and a new 4 to. The drive is successfully verified. Can I trust the contents of the new drive? If the player has verified that means that bad sectors were readable, or just that copied by the damaged disk data utility "with success."

    Another thing, when I started the computer, Time Machine does not recognize that the new disc is a clone of the previous and delete all backups of the previous player (nice one Time Machine)... so now, only two copies of my entire life are these two 4TBs...

  • Is it safe to delete the original score after successful cloning?

    I have a Mac mini mid2010. I swapped his optical drive to an SSD. Then I cloned the operating system partition and everything works perfectly. My question is whether it is safe to delete the original "Macintosh HD" that I cloned, or if there is a way to keep its files being accessible if I don't get them mixed up.

    Thank you

    Delete the old folder on the internal drive home page only. I should leave everything alone in case you need to boot from this drive. However, in general, it is safe to reformat the hard drive. But it depends on what you plan to do with it.

  • After the backup hard drive cloning ARD launch

    OS: 10.11.6 (issue which happened on 10.11.5; update today to see if this helped)

    Recently, I reformatted my hard drive to correct some wacky partitioning I played with and cloned my rear disc of a direct clone of CCC.  Also, I recreated my restoration, installation of Boot Camp and installed Windows partition.

    Then, I went to launch the Office remotely and received the following error:

    As a logical person, I uninstalled the application by following the steps here, reinstalled and restarted... to get the same error.

    At this point, I have Google would be a bit and found mention of a permissions issue which was that other people having the same problem.  I checked my diary and here, I got the same errors:

    The strict solution seems to be to delete this folder and recreate it.  First of all, I did this by connecting to the recovery partition and deleting the folder 'C' via the Terminal I didn't so not disable controls system integrity.  This resulting no change on a restart, even after do it again, uninstalling Remote Desktop, and then reinstall.

    Then I disabled the system integrity (csrutil disable) in recovery and started to remove it when it is started.  I ran across the same as hoops above because it does not work all the time.

    I even went away so crazy just now as to delete the folder of higher level instead of just the subfolder 'C '.  That no longer works.  I changed the permissions on the folder to 777.  No change.  Changed the owner to my user account because he invites him for an administrator account.  No change.

    I went to the ARD support page and tried to present a real ticket, but it turns out that the ARD is not in the list of software that you can file a ticket on.

    I'm out of ideas.  No luck, can anyone provide some guidance?

    Hi, I have exactly the same problem the first time, I don't have the link with a CCC clone, but this morning (after a clean install because of this problem), I cloned my boot on a new SSD drive and this issue comes up with the clone. I reboot the original disc and ARD works on original, CCC is causing the problem, I made several clones with previous systems without problems, so it's probably a mixture of Capitan/CCC/ARD pure problem.

    I left a message of support to the CCC with a reference to your thread.

    hope for solution too... for the first time in my life of Apple that a problem needs a new facility...

  • The wrongly cloned HARD drive recovery

    Hello everyone,

    Instead of using a third-party cloning software, I tried to clone my drive with disk utility. After restart my laptop, I went into recovery by using the command-R and used disk utility menu in this menu. However, I accidentally chose the empty as the source disk Hd and the Macintosh Hd as the destination. I started the process, but in 10 seconds my laptop over cloning. Now I have two empty disks. I tried to restart my system but my whole data were missing. I stopped using it and immediately deleted. Is it possible to restore my drive? I tried 3 data rescue, but my whole files in over 26 thousand records without name. It is very difficult to sort and on top of that, I have really no idea about the collection again correctly my archives 'Photos '. Is there anyone who had this experience? What should I do? Not all recovery software of this kind of recovery with thousands of anonymous records?

    Now, I run my middle 2012 non-retine Macbook Pro 15 "with a new Hd I use El Capitan 10.11.5, if that's important. And also the other drive that I deleted in a box for external drive.

    There is also a thing. It's really very easy to delete our internal drives. Just restart your computer, then press command-r to start the recovery mode. You can clone an empty drive to your home without any problem. Utility disk never asked me my password before cloning. Attackers can erase your data all in 10 seconds. It's really disappointing. I admit it's my mistake, but it does not that much easy to delete my entire drive.

    Thanks in advance and I hope that Apple can solve the problem and may make it difficult to erase drive in recovery mode.

    Apple not to specialize in data recovery, they will probably refer you to someone else.

  • Cloning of a Mac mini with application Server

    We bought a condo in Florida and I want to my server it doubles. I use Mac mini (2 different models) with 2 drives external (one for Time Machine backups) and one for data.

    What is the best way to install the Apple Server on Florida related to the Mac mini so I don't have to install it from scratch?

    Yesterday I tried (in vain) to use the Migration Wizard to move all of my Mac mini to the Florida-bound one. Can I use 3rd party app "Carbon Copy Cloner" instead?

    Any recommendations on how to configure the 2nd server would be appreciated.

    The replication server is a relatively trivial process and can be accomplished by using disk utility.  However, the source drive and the destination drive should not be active at the time of cloning.  For example, you have Master Mini and you want to be replicated on Mini replica.  The best way to do it with the included tools must start Master Mini from another disk that contains an operating system to start.  Then start the Mini replica in target disk mode and connect it to the Mini Master (already started from another drive).  Disk utility to clone the Master disk on the drive of replica.

    Ah, but cloning is the easy part.  The question I have for you is that you really want an exact replica?  The reason why I ask, is that your current server should have a name and a fully qualified domain name.  It's server.pauljohnson.com and it has a 10.0.0.10 IP address.  If you clone the device to another Mac, there will also be a name of server.pauljohnson.com and it has a 10.0.0.10 IP.  If two of your networks are configured on the 10.0.0.0/24 subnet then you won't be able to connect to each other.  Similarly, if you depend on external access to devices and must comply with DNS, then you can only point to one of the servers, unless you have a form of installation program to distribute the load between the two locations of load balancing.

    What services run you on the servers other than the Server Time Machine?  Do you intend to have a VPN tunnel between the two institutions?  If you use Open Directory, and DNS, you can configure master and replicas of the two services.  Of course, this should only be done with a tunnel VPN in place I would not recommend exposing these services to the internet.

    Then await you replicate data also?

    Start with a list of services and a list of expectations about how you want client machines work when moving from one place to another.

    Hello

    I think that the system cannot boot to the new HARD disk as the partition where the system is installed, was not marked as bootable system partition.

    I recommend to insert the previous HARD drive and to start the laptop.
    HARD drive new, cloned could be connected as an external HARD drive to a USB port.

    Then you should go to disk management (right click my computer - manage-> management-> disk management computer)
    Here you can see the HARD internal disk and the 2nd HARD drive connected to the USB port
    Right-click on the partition (2nd HARD drive) where the Win XP has been installed and choose the partition as the system partition and mark it as active.

    Then you could change the HARD drive again and could power the device in place. Usually, the system should boot to the top of the new marked system partition.
