Rescue media built incorrectly with ATI2016?
Hi,
I have Acronis 2016 and I tried to follow these instructions in a general sense, to clone my SSD to a new bigger SSD, although I was planning to clone rather than recover from a backup (I did back up the drive first):
https://forum.acronis.com/forum/acronis-true-image-2016-forum/guide-res…
But I can't get very far with this. Here is the situation: whatever is inside the machine, Acronis and Diskpart can NOT see... whatever is outside the machine, they CAN see. So, the first thing I tried, I put NewDrive in the machine and it wasn't visible even to diskpart, I thought OK, maybe I installed it insecurely, or maybe it's damaged, but... if I put OldDrive back in the machine, diskpart and acronis cannot see it, but it can see NewDrive (attached via USB enclosure)... and also it can boot to Windows (so OldDrive is properly installed).
So it seems like my rescue media is built incorrectly, such that it can't detect the internal drive? I am on a Dell Inspiron 7706.
I built the rescue media from within ATI 2016 because I could do so successfully, and because I don't think MVP assistant works with ATI 2016. At least, when I try to open MVP Assistant on the computer, and then I click on the "Rescue Media" tab, it goes to "not responding" and I have to kill the app.
I don't remember which of the two ways from within ATI2016 I built the rescue media, but whatever I did, I was able to see the command window and the ATI interface.
Does anyone have any ideas as to why the internal drive cannot be detected by diskpart or Acronis when I boot from the rescue media, and how to resolve this?
Thank you, Elisa

Thank you, I wasn't able to get the WinPE method to work but Macrium did the trick!
Best, Elisa
