Clone win 10 error

Thread needs solution

I am running a Dual Boot system.. Windows 8.1 and Windows 10..   The system contains three WD Black 1TB drives.

1st drive: Windows 8.1
2nd drive: DATA files and other backups (simple file copies),  3rd drive: Windows 10
These drives are 7 years old and i decided to replace them before they might Fail and keep original drives as backups.

Using True Image 2016: Build 6027
The 1st drive (8.1) cloned with out issue
       2nd drive (DATA) cloned without issue
       3rd drive (10) failed, it copied most of the files but missed about 1GB of files)

I tried it again and it failed, all the files were copied this time but getting an error message..

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  Failed to write data to the disk

   Failed to write to sector `12,602.871` of hard disk `4`. Failed to write the snapshot
   manager volume. (0x1000D3) Unknown status. (0x9) Access is denied (0xFFF0)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I got this message for a large group of sectors, some random some in groups. I ran WD diagnostics on the new drive.. Drive passed 100%

All Cloning Procedures were run from Windows 8.1 where the Acronis is installed

ANY IDEAS OR COMMENTS ?

Hi Vince,

When cloning, are you starting from within Windows or the bootable recovery media?  If not using the recovery media to initiate, try that first.  Then be sure the bootable recovery media is launched with the same install method as your Win 10 build... i.e. if Windows 10 is installed as Legacy/MBR use your one time boot menu option to boot the recovery media in Legacy/MBR mode and then attempt the clone.  If Windows 10 is installed as UEFI/GPT, use the one time boot menu option to boot the recovery in UEFI/GPT mode and then attempt the clone.

Also, cloning can fail if either disk has bad sectors (source or destination), so check the other one too.  Cloning can also fail if the disk sectors are different sizes (for instance if the source is 2TB or less and has 512kb sectors and the new disk is greater than 2TB and using 4K sector sizes).  In those cases, you'll want to take a backup image of the drive and restore the image, instead of just cloning. 

One other note, make sure that the new drive is formatted the same as the old one too - if the old drive is MBR the new one should be MBR and vice-versa if the old one is GPT... the new one should be formatted as GPT as well.
