Cloning?

Thread needs solution

When I choose to Clone my c Drive I get a much smaller copy than the original, over 100 gig less. Am I doing something wrong?

Clone? Or a Backup, that creates a .tib image file? They are two very different functions.

I am trying to clone my 150 GB HD to a 500 GB HD for an upgrade using True Image. After the clone completes, when I try to boot up from the new drive, I get a 'Blue Screen' and a system error of BAD SYSTEM CONFIG ERROR

Could you advise on how to address. I am using the True Image and not the True Image Plus...

You would have been better to open a new thread, as your issue has nothing to do with the issue in this thread.

Don't clone. Do a full disk backup and then restore that to the new drive. That will be far less risky than cloning, as with a clone you have only one chance and you can render your drive unbootable or even erase the wrong drive.

I have used the clone feature before with no problems. I need to install a higher capacity hard drive. That is why I chose to clone the smaller drive but the drive properties shows the new drive to contain less info.
