Cloning of 2nd disk messes up (EFI partition from 1st disk and only 2 of 3 from 2nd)
Have a huge problem making a clone of my 2nd disk (a HDD with 3 partitions).
When I select the source it show all 3 partitions (D: S: and W:).
I select the destionation (exact same disk type).
Now it shows a suggested layout with the EFI partition from my 1st disk, and the S: and W partitions from the 2nc). Why does it bring the 1st disk in here at all?
Any ideas?

A picture would help as well - I'm not exactly sure what you're seeing. I don't see why it would see additional paritions of another drive - the source should only list the source paritions and the destination should only list destination paritions.
If you are cloning disk 1 and it has an EFI partition scheme, whatever you clone to is going to have the same parition scheme. A clone is essentially an exact copy of the original drive. You cannot clone from EFI to MBR - anything on the second drive will be wiped, formatted and copied over exactly as it is from the original drive.
