Clone Win 8.1 from 1.5 TB HDD to 500 GB SSD - Asus notebook, No Windows CD/DVD

Thread needs solution

Hello,

I recently bought a new Asus notebook with a 1.5 TB HDD and a Samsung 840 EVO SDD with 500 GB and want to migrate the system before I do anything else.

After disabling secure boot and enabling CSM I was able to boot from the ATI 2013 cd.

So far I did a full backup of the HDD with ATI 2013 to an external drive
2. placed the HDD in an external case
3. installed the SSD where the HDD was
4. cloned the HDD to the SSD in manual mode, changing the size of only the OS and the Data partition (C and D) leaving all other partitions (recovery, restore and - I think it was - MBR) untouched.

After the cloning process had finished, I removed the connections to the HDD, restarted the notebook, disabled CSM, enabled fast boot and secure boot. After exiting the setup windows started all right and recognized the ssd.

But now the problems started. When I tried to boot an ubuntu distribution from an usb-stick (which should cope with secure boot), I got the Error Code 0xc0000225 - the system needs to be repaired. From now on I can only enter UEFI, disable secure boot, enable CSM and then start ATI from cd. Booting to Windows is no longer possible - I always end up with the error screen. A recovery CD was not included with the notebook.

I guess there is some problem with the boot manager or the recovery/restore partitions, either because the SSD is smaller than the HDD or because I changed the size of the OS and Data partitions.

Looking for solutions I found this post: https://forum.acronis.com/forum/40841 which seemed very promising until I read the last two lines of the instructions.

I'm not sure what would be the way to go for me, any help would be appreciated.

Having 2013 and 8.1 qualifies you for a free upgrade to TI 2014 from Acronis.
