Blank screen during clone restart.
Hi. I've looked around but can't find a thread specific to this problem. I am replacing my hdd with an ssd, and using the cloning software. After selecting options on the cloning software and initiating it asks to restart computer. After I agreed to restart pc it closed down and now it is just displaying a black screen with nothing at all displayed. The pc is running and the ssd housing light is flashing so I assume something is happening. The problem is I don't know if it's working or cloning, or doing nothing. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks for your reply. What seems to be happening is when the software asks for me to restart pc after the cloning, the pc actually restarts before any of the cloning takes place. Unless it's taking place after the restart, during the blank screen?

It is happening during the blank screen.

Thanks. So it's a case of just leaving it and it will eventually boot up?

It should complete the clone process. At that point the machine might reboot once again back into Windows or it might reboot into an error or it could refuse to boot at all. This is why I stated that cloning of the Windows disk is not recommended when started from within the Windows installed application.
