Hello. I am hoping to get help with a cloning problem. I have a Lenovo Desktop k430 which has been working fine until lately. About 4 weeks ago I  had some problems with the C drive and after cleaning the drive, Hardware Sentinel revealed there were sector problems. The problems were corrected by Windows 7 by reallocation  of sectors to available areas. I purchased a new 2TB Seagate Drive and tried to use a recent backup and a backup from last April. For some reason the backup(s) which were installed would not boot, When I tried to boot, I only saw a blank screen with a blinking cursor. I tried to correct the situation with a Windows 7 boot disk and Windows failed to automatically correct the situation. I downloaded Neosmart  Easy Recovery 7. This program did not resolve the boot problems. either but I believe it added a MBR partition.  The original Hard drive has one partition only and when I backed up previously I did not know whether  I should check ( MBR 0 ). or not. I finally backed up the drive yesterday to an Older WD  'MY Book drive which I formatted before the backup. When I did the backup yesterday, i validated the backup off the old drive and it was perfect. I also validated the previous backups and they were fine. The problem with the WD MY Book was that I could not reinstall the backup because it was locked and Acronis boot disk could not reveal it. I communicated with Acronis for Technical help and since I was using Acronis 2017, they confined their remarks to the backup situation. I sent  my log and everything they wanted. The tech was concerned but only provided information that I already read. The ticket was closed yesterday as I asked about a cloning question and they advised me to purchase  Acronis 2019 which I did. Using the 2019 software, I tried to make a bootable disk from the 2019 software but when  I tried the computer would not boot from it. I was told to use the Windows 7 boot disk. I used the 2017 Acronis Bootable disk to perform the re-installations.

All of the above has taken weeks of trying this and that to make the new drive bootable. In frustration, I tried  cloning the old drive on to the new drive using the 2017  Acronis   bootable disk and alas it worked fine on which I used the new Disk.  Hard disk Sentinel said the new drive is perfect and100%  While booting, I noted that Windows installed a new driver for the hard drive  for the new hard drive and asked for a reboot. When I finally did a shutdown and reboot,Windows booted in to whiat I would call a basic safe mode.. large Icons, no drivers to talk about and a non-workable situation. I did not understand what happened at first so I re-cloned the old drive on to the new drive for a 2nd time  and again the same situation occurred..I finally realized the problem was (is) the new driver.  The old driver seemed to work fine.  I checked Disk management this am after cloning for the third time and all is working well.  BUT Windows installed the 'new driver' again  once booted. How can I prevent the new driver from being installed?? Can I used Disk Management.. I do not want Windows to install a new driver each time I boot the drive.

Any help is appreciated.. Thanks   Arnold

Arnold, welcome to these public User Forums.

After you cloned your old drive to the new one, did you remove the old drive from your computer?

Is this a Legacy boot system or is it a UEFI boot system?

See webpage: BIOS Mode - See if Windows Boot in UEFI or Legacy Mode - regarding the above.

Steve, Thank you for your request. The boot system is legacy.

At this moment all seems fine and all ok. I realized after cloning, the computer worked fine. BUT when I tried to reboot the computer it did not recognize the hard drive and advised there was no Windows to boot. The real problem is (was) that when I installed the new Seagate Drive, I used a different model than the previous. The old hard drive model was ST2000M001. The new Seagate Drive is  ST2000DM008. Thus at the initial boot, Windows installed a new driver for the new hard drive which apparently did not work on the reboot.. It did not allow me to boot in to the drive.SO I resolved the problem by going on to the old hard drive ( which was still working) and stopped Windows from installing new drivers, re-backed up the drive and installed the new backup  version and that worked. The crux of the problem was I used a new and 'better' hard drive and the new installed driver did not work  until I prevented Windows 7 from installing a 'new driver'.. The old 'legacy' driver dows work on the new drive.

Acronis tech support adsied the same and sent me this llink

https://support.microsoft.com/en-ca/help/2500967/how-to-stop-windows-7-…

The other problem I had at first was the older backups  when restored to the new drive would not boot at all. My old drive has only one partition for the C drive.I was confused when I went to restore and did not check MBR 0 as I thought that meant it  was going to add a partition for the boot. When I restored that last time, I checked on restore to include MBR 0 and it worked.

I also downloaded Group Policy editor as I have Windows 7 Home Premium and it did not include GPE., The download I got from the net did not include 'Disk Management' so instead I was able to stop the hard drive driver search through  Disk Management itself and confirmed it through the Registry.

All of the above took me weeks to resolve but I learned much through the exercise. I now have Acronis 2019 and have backed up the drive and have the back up bootable DVD. I hope the above scenario will help others .
