I get an error msg when I try to manually set partition size with Clone utility

Thread needs solution

I just bought a brand new 1.5TB external drive and want to clone my nearly full 280GB internal HD.

With the Clone utility, I get the following error message when I try to manually set the partition size:

"Failed to move the selected data. Make sure that your new hard drive is not smaller than your old one and your partitions do not contain errors. You can check for the errors and correct them using a special utility."

My new drive is larger that the old drive. If I use the automatic setting on the Clone tool it works fine - so I am not sure what errors my new drive could have.

I just bought the Acronis product and am frustrated that I cannot get it to work...anyone have any solutions?

Thanks

If you are resizing a partition while cloning, TI will not allow a resize if the source partition contains file system errors or bad blocks. Have you checked your old drive for errors?
