Impossible to clone

Thread needs solution

I bought a Crucial SSD with the Tur Image 2015 as OEM

Software installed correctly

But impossible to clone my old system disk to the now SSD

O follow each step correctly until I am asked to reboot

I rebbot, but...nothing.... the system just reboot... without doing any cloning tasks

 

What can I do ?

Thanks

Pascal, welcome to these user forums.

Please understand that the OEM version of ATIH 2015 may be an older build with less functionality than the equivalent full Acronis product.

Please see KB document: 48386: Acronis True Image 2015: Cloning Disks for the correct steps that should be used to perform a clone operation.

Key points are:

  1. Cloning should be performed using the Acronis bootable Rescue Media and not from within Windows.
  2. The Acronis Rescue Media must be booted in the same mode as used by Windows itself.  See webpage: Check if your PC uses UEFI or BIOS for how to determine which mode Windows uses to boot, i.e. UEFI or BIOS?
  3. The source drive should be removed from your computer and replaced with the new Crucial SSD (connected in the same place to same connectors) and the removed drive should be connected externally using a USB-SATA adapter or disk caddy.
  4. The size of the target drive should be sufficient to hold all the current source drive data plus have free space.  You cannot clone only selected partitions - the whole drive must be cloned and partitions resized if the target drive is smaller than the source drive.
