Cloning HDD to SSD

Thread needs solution

Ok so this is my first HDD transfer to SSD on the laptop. taking apart the laptop is easy. Apparently cloning isn't. I'm using the Acronis software and i keep trying to clone my 500gb HDD to my 250gb Crucial SSD. About 70.1 GB is used on my HDD. i tried resizing the HDD several times to see if that was the issue but i keep getting the same Error 0x101f6: A format/resize error. I have these log files here seeing if you guys can probably help me. im completely new to this cloning process so i would appreciate a step by step process solution if possible.

Miguel, welcome to these public User Forums.

The first recommendation is to do a CHKDSK /F for the HDD source drive to ensure that there are no file system issues present.

Next, download a copy of the free MiniTool Partition Wizard software and use this to reduce the size of your C: OS drive to 200GB which should leave plenty of space for ATI to do any resizing of the other partitions on the drive when creating the structure on the new SSD.

The format/resize error in the most recent of your images was because ATI couldn't resize the C: partition, which normally occurs because the partition contains blocks that are flagged as being unmoveable.

You could test this by trying to 'Shrink' the C: volume in Windows Disk Management which will give you an indication of how small that tool thinks the partition can be shrunk to, but which will be larger than the target 221GB that ATI is trying to achieve.
