Acronis Disk Clone

Thread needs solution

My destination drive is greyed out when it is an equal size to the source drive. Why is this greyed out. What's the work around or fix.

Perform the procedure when booted from the TI Recovery CD.

Use the TI "Add new disk" option to initialize the new disk and delete any partitions on the new disk before cloning.

Strongly urge that you name the disks or partitions before doing the clone or even a resore. Two disks of the same size is ripe for a user error via a wrong disk selection.

A safer choice would be to perform a full "disk image" backup and then restore the backup onto the new disk.

Links 2 below illustrates backups and link 3, item 2 illustrates how to restore the disk.

Clone should be used only by advanced users who know what they are doing. It is riskier and can result in a loss of data and a failed system. Create a full disk mode backup and restore it, using the bootable Rescue Media, to the new disk, as it's far safer.
