Acronis Wants to Reboot During Clone

Thread needs solution

I am using Acronis True Image HD 2013 on a Win7 desktop. I recently installed a new 240GB OCZ Vector 150 SSD to replace my too small OCZ 128GB Revodrive SSD (the primary OS drive). I installed True Image HD 2013 on the source disc and asked it to clone the drive. I selected automatic and it took True Image 5 min to scan the source disc. It then asked for me to select the destination disc which I did. Moments after starting the cloning procedure, a window pops up telling me it needs to reboot. I agree to the reboot and an acronis splash screen pops up during reboot. Once it finishes booting, nothing happens. The cloning procedure does not continue. What am I doing wrong? Thanks for any and all help.

Please search the forum for "Clone" to find the many posts outlining our recommended procedure. For example, we recommend that you clone only after booting from the ATI bootable Rescue Media, not from Windows. Also, it would be equally effective but safer to perform a full disk mode backup and restore it to the new drive, rather than to clone.

Thanks. I will research this further. Still, isn't it odd that the recommended procedure isn't cloning from within windows when that is a specific feature of Acronis?

It is a feature and it can often work. But, we MVPs recommend best practices which avoid common issues.

BTW, when cloning from within Windows, it is expected and in fact necessary for the system to reboot.
