Clone Disk not working

Thread needs solution

When I try to use the Clone Disk tool everything goes well until the operation starts, then I get an error message saying "operation failed". There are no codes and no helpful messages to indicate what the problem is.

I have tried with a number of different HD's, same result.

Hardware is a brand new Presario laptop. OS is Windows 7 and I am try to clone from a 320gb disk to a 500gb.

Can anyone help?

Hi Ian,
Much better results are usually obtained when doing the clone from the TI bootable media CD or Flash Drive.

I much prefer the backup and restore approach due to the reduced risk factor associated with the cloning procedure.

Acronis has a KB article on their suggested procedure. Click on my signature link below and look at item 3-RR.
