cloning process
At the end of the cloning process on disk H, it appears that the file system on disk H is RAW (image 997).
If I want to format the H disk, it tells me that the file system is NFTS (image 999)
Acronis also reads the disk as NFTS.
How do I know if the disk really works and in case of a crash would H disk be able to replace it right away?
Also, the C disk is an SSD while the H disk is an external hard drive and I've read that it might not work.
What alternatives do I have to properly clone (not backup) the SSD disk to an external disk?
Thank you
Roberto

Hi Steve, thanks for your reply; I assure you that I follow the cloning programme; it's impossible upload the image, because: :-(

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.
