Just cloned

Thread needs solution

I just cloned my hd to an ssd.  Everything cloned great.  My problem is whatever I add to the new ssd also goes on the old hd.  How do I add to just my ssd and not the hd.

Joie, welcome to these user forums.

From your very brief description of the issue, it seems that you have both the cloned SSD and original HDD drive connected to your system at the same time, which is not recommended.

Please see KB document: 56634: Acronis True Image 2016: Cloning Disks which will show you the correct procedure for cloning drives.  This includes the important step of removing the original source drive before booting from the target clone drive - where the clone drive is installed in place of the original one.

Note: when you clone a drive, then you also clone the unique disk signature and end with two drives having that same signature which should not be both connected at the same time.
