I tried to get help and was informed that my free support ended today!!!!!!!!!! You can try copy volumes of a basic GPT data disk. You cannot clone a single partition, only cloning of an entire disk is possible. Now granted the drive I'm trying to clone has an OS Hi Family Tram, thank you for your posting.

I'm a retired consultant SW eingineer, but not very familiar with Windows disc formats. I saw that Acronis Disc Director I could even copy all the individual partitions, but always got warned they wouldn't be bootable.

Acronis Disc Director If you've purchased the product from Acronis official website, you may request a full refund of Acronis True Image or Acronis Disk Director license purchase for any reason during the refund period applicable to your product type.

Please refer to Refund policy for Personal products for more details. Authored on. Order Asc Desc. Was your full-disk image made with Acronis True Image? Amateur Radio K0LO. No, I used Windows Backup and Restore. I don't have True Image installed on that computer but I could. I have various versions up to and an unused license still.

That said I still have the intact C drive which is what I cloned from originally. I think I may need to use Samsung Magician to restore the attempted drive back to a clean drive. I think that the method I used may work for you also. One thing to watch out for, however. Choose the one without. You may also need to disable Secure Boot to get this outcome; again depending on your motherboard and how its firmware works.

While you're at it, create or download a copy of the Acronis bootable CD. In fact, you won't need to install TrueImage if you have or can download a copy of the bootable CD version and boot your PC from it to create the image.

You will need the bootable CD to restore the image, however. From a command prompt, use diskpart to clean one of the SSDs and to set up the desired partition structure. Use the following commands:. For sake of an example, let's say it is disk 0 select disk 0 or whatever disk number it actually is. You will stop the installation at a convenient time during setup of the Windows partition.

The installer will reboot the PC at some point, maybe more than once. When it starts asking questions about location, time zone, or user accounts you can bail out of the installer.

Just shut off the power. There is no need to let it complete the installation of Windows because you will restore your saved image over top of this incomplete installation. Boot to the Acronis bootable CD and restore only the Windows partition to your SSD, overwriting the partial installation of Windows with the image made from your intact source disk.

Adjust the size of the restored image to fill the remaining space on the SSD. Thanks again Mark. I will have a go at this later this afternoon and post back with the results. It's not the end of the world if it doesn't work for me but at least I will have learned something new. This technology has changed a great deal since my first PC build years ago.

It's getting hard to keep up with all the changes and new hardware. Not sure if this is a problem or not. This is a bit confusing to me. Maybe I need to try Gigabyte support to clarify?

Since I'm not familiar with your motherboard, then checking with Gigabyte support for clarification is a good idea. I have gone a sfar as setting up Win 7 on one of the SSD drives, did the full install and checked the drive to confirm it is indeed MBR, t is. Now I'll restore the saved image which should be interesting as I haven't done this before. Lucky I guess but now I'll see if my backups were a workable solution. I'll report back. Trust me, if it can go wrong it usually does for me.

Sounds good. If the boot environment shows a different drive letter for the C partition just ignore that. Restore to the large partition on the SSD, no matter what letter is is called by in the boot environment.

It did indeed work. And as I expected I ended up taking a longer path, I think, to the final restore. That said, it did work and I've completed my first and only backup restore since getting Acronis years ago. I think the cloned drive will need to be initalized afterward but that's easy enough. Make sense? I have to admit I could see making mistakes without having read, re-read, and reading again the procedure you laid out. The biggest deviance from your instructions was I allowed Windows to fully install and then checked the partition.

After this project is finished it will be time to try a Universal restore from my older Windows 7 Pro 64 to a newer Windows 10 Pro 64 system. The CPU, memory, and drives are getting too old to handle the many programs and hardware the observatory through at it. I may just rebuild the newer computer back to windows 7 Pro 64 and then try a Universal restore. Win 10 updates have a tendency to kill observatory systems and cause massive issues needing to be resolved after almost every update.

Very good! Although I am surprised that the recovered image did not boot and that you had to use the Windows Automatic Repair. If not, that would explain what happened. The BCD on the System Reserved partition had the correct location of the Windows partition since you didn't move it when restoring the image. So I don't understand why this happened. As for doing the second SSD, you have several choices. You should make an image of the entire disk and restore the entire disk this time.

I would not use DD12 to clone partitions; too many opportunities to mess up. True Image is the better product for this task. Once you have an image saved to external storage with True Image, you have multiple opportunities to try different restoration methods. If one doesn't work then you can try another method and you always have the saved image to fall back on.
