Disk Cloning Problem
Please can anyone help.
I have used the cloning facility without problem for over 4.5 years as a protection for by business PC's.
I have just tried to perform a clone on an apparently good drive but the clone fails with chkdsk errors.
Although I know there is an issue with the source disk I still want to make a clone of it before I try and fix the problems
Is there any way that the cloning facility can be run ignoring any disk errors.
If not can anyone advise of an alternative cloning method.
Thanks in advance.

Hi, I am trying to clone my disk from a 500gb disk to a new 1 tb drive on Windows 10 using Acronis True Image 2016 having just upgraded to build 6571. I get the error " Failed to read sector '83,690,535 of hard disk 1. Try to repeat the operation. If error persists check the disk using CHKDSK initially and create a backup of the disk. Direct R/W operation haS FAILED. (0X590001) Input output error 0xFFF1" I have retried and run chkdsk which shows no errors on either partition. Any ideas on how to proceed? Incidently I have only just downloaded this and my account says that my support has run out. Regards Anthony

Hello Anthony,
Looks like the disk is damaged to the extent when Acronis program is unable to read from it. Check disk`s so-called S.M.A.R.T. status with utilities like CrystalDiskInfo (http://crystalmark.info/redirect.php?product=CrystalDiskInfo), see if there are any issues.
To get your old drive cloned to the new disk I would suggest you creating a backup with enabled option "Ignore bad sectors", save it on a third disk or to a NAS, then restore it to your new drive.
