Clone Drive isn't working anymore

Thread needs solution

After over a 2 years cloning SSD now it can't. It shows " selected disk will be restored as is (disk layout will remain MBR)  when disk isn't MBR. SSD is 2 Tb but just 65% full and source drive, destination is empty.

I had run diskpart to convert to GPT and won't clone. it just format drive

Enrique, welcome to these public User Forums.

The reason why you are seeing the message about the target disk remaining MBR is because that is the BIOS boot mode being used by the host PC doing the clone, or being used for the Acronis Rescue Media being used with the PC.

This is correct for how Acronis works, cloning always follows the partition scheme and BIOS boot mode used by the PC where the clone is being performed.

If you want to clone a GPT SSD then you need to use a PC that allows for UEFI BIOS boot.
