Cloning appears to be hung

Thread needs solution

Hi, im trying to clone my 240GB SSD over to a 500GB SSD as I have ran out of space.

I have A HP Z420 with a Xeon 6 core 12 thread E5-1650 CPU and 32GB of ECC Ram.

The source drive is a Corsair 240GB SSD and the destination drive is a brand new never used before Western Digital 500GB SSD.

I am using the Recovery Media burned to a DVD. I connected the 240GB SSD to a USB 3.0 external enclosure. The 500GB is connected inside the computer by SATA 3.

I have started the cloning and am at 5 of 7 Copying partition stage of the operation with Time left: 4 Minutes.

only issue is, it been 30 mins with no movement. The activity light on the external and the computer have stop blinking long ago and the bar is about 40% and hasn’t moved.

I Canceled, the cloning, and it was still hung. I ended up powering down the system. I then tried again, This time it cloned the disk and I am now booted up from it.

Scott, glad to hear that your clone actions were successful after the power reset.
