Cloning does not resume upon reboot for laptop

Trying to clone a drive for a laptop.
New hard drive already installed. Not formatted or initialized.
Old hard drive hooked by USB.
Run Acronis. Asks for source, reads USB, asks for destination, reads un-initialized hard drive. Asks for reboot, reboot and nothing happens.
I've tried with a separately powerd usb 3.0 hard drive adapter and a usb powered usb 3.0 hard drive enclosure.
I've also tried using both usb 3.0 and 2.0.

Not trying to clone windows. That is on a separate drive altogether.
Just a hard drive I keep all of my programs and user files on.
I'd rather not have to reinstall all programs and move all user folders again.

The Clone operation is performed while running under a Linux environment despite the fact that the operation itself is initiated from within the Windows OS. Thus the reason for the reboot requirement.
It appears that your machine has issue with booting into this Linux environment. Thus you should create the Recovery Media I mentioned above and see if your machine can boot that media. If not then you probably have bios settings enabled that are preventing the machine to boot in the Linux environment.
The recovery media once created will give the user 2 options when booting. One option is for a standard instance of TI run in a non UEFI machine or a compatible UEFI mode and a 64 bit compliant UEFI mode. If your machine is 64 bit UEFI ONLY enabled mode as set in the bios you would choose the 64 bit choice here. If your machine is using UEFI and bios is set to run in CSM compatibility mode (if available) you could choose either option to boot the media.
