Can't clone HDD to SDD in Visat or with boot DVD
Unable to clone an 80 GB HDD with Vista Business OS to a USB connected 120 GB Crucial solid-state SATA drive (SSD) when running a Acronis clone either from the boot disk or from within Vista.
However, ACRONIS was able to create and name two partitions on the SSD and then format them.
Will a sector by sector image backup do the trick?
Help!! UPS is scheduled to pick up the SSD and return it to Amazon today.

George,
You didn't mention what actually happens or doesn't happen when you attempt to clone.
Probably too late, but depending on the answer to the above question, a 'reverse' clone might have worked. That is the source drive is made external and the destination drive is temporarily connected to the PC/Laptop. Then using the recovery CD clone from the external to the internal.
Any cloning of a disk that contains th eoperating system whould be cloned from the recovery environment, not form within Windows. Non OS disks cab be cloned from Windows with few problems.
Ordinarily as Tuttles says, making images is the more reliable and easier route. In your case, if sending a disk back or a PC for repair as a one off, a clone is probably the least expensive option.
