Cannot get past "select destination drive" when trying to clone
Cannot get past "select destination drive" when trying to clone
If I try to clone my OS drive on my Windows 10 system, I can select the clone method amd the source drive but when I select destination drive the acronis spinning clock spins for 10 mins before a list of disks is presented. Sometimes it just seems to hang and however long I wait no destination (internal or USB) disk list is presented?
What is worng here please? Any suggestions. I do not have any disconnected network drives.

Thanks, Mel

I am using the "clone" procedure built into Acronis 2016, starting from within Windows. This doesn't specifiy the procedure you suggest. I don't see any other way using Acronis - once one has selected the source and destination Acronis does indeed re-boot into its own OS (I presume Linux) and then creates the clone outside of windows. This used to work perfectly OK with little delay in allowing a destination to be selected. Recently (after Win 10 upgrade I THINK) this prevaracation in selecting a destination has begun.

PS - I am trying to create a clone as a precaution before further Win 10 upgrades.

You are correct in that the computer does reboot into a Linux environment to perform an OS system disk clone. That reboot however can be problematic and I agree that Win 10 has made that even more so. So to avoid this problem it is simpler, easier, and a bit safer to just create a Recovery Media Disk, boot to it, and perform the clone.
