I am trying to clone my laptop ssd hard drive to a larger ssd.

When I do this, the larger drive ends up split into 2 separate disks where:

Disk 0  is a copy of the original drive including partitions, system, recovery and C: but C is only 115GB in size with no unallocated space

Disk 1 is a copy of the original drive with the system and recovery partitions and where the C: partition is maximised to take up the entire drive like I setup during the cloning process.

Original drive is 128GB SSD in a Lenovo laptop

Destination drive is a 500GB Crucial SSD that did have a previous clone on it from another computer.  I have used the Crucial storage executive to restore this drive back to factory default.

The source drive is Bitlocker encrypted and I am now decrypting this drive to try the cloning process again but I would like to know if this was the original cause for the dual disk clone??

I am also using the latest True Image for the clone process.

If not, what else could cause the destination SSD to be split into 2 disks?

Thanks,

Jason

Jason, welcome to these public User Forums.

I have never heard of cloning resulting in the target drive being divided into 2 separate drives as this goes against all the principles of what cloning is, which is to make a 1:1 copy from the source to the target.

Given that you have said that the source drive was Bitlocker encrypted, I am assuming that you used the Acronis Active Clone feature to do the clone from within Windows with the new larger drive connected externally, which is not recommended or guaranteed to work when dealing with cloning laptop drives.

Please see KB 56634: Acronis True Image: how to clone a disk - and review the step by step guide given there.

Note: the first section of the above KB document directs laptop users to KB 2931: How to clone a laptop hard drive - and has the following paragraph:

It is recommended to put the new drive in the laptop first, and connect the old drive via USB. Otherwise you will may not be able to boot from the new cloned drive, as Acronis True Image will apply a bootability fix to the new disk and adjust the boot settings of the target drive to boot from USB. If the new disk is inside the laptop, the boot settings will be automatically adjusted to boot from internal disk. As such, hard disk bays cannot be used for target disks. For example, if you have a target hard disk (i.e. the new disk to which you clone, and from which you intend to boot the machine) in a bay, and not physically inside the laptop, the target hard disk will be unbootable after the cloning.

To do the above using the Acronis rescue media requires that Bitlocker is not enabled as the regular 'Simple' WinPE version of the media has no support for Bitlocker so would fail on this point otherwise.
