Cloning disk "time left" hasn't changed for 5 hours

Thread needs solution

I'm running a clone disk operation. The "time left" message has been at 44 seconds for the past FIVE hours.
I ran a scandisk on the source before attempting this operation. Should I continue to wait or cancel and try again?

Bart, welcome to these public User Forums.

The 'time left' or time remaining shouldn't continue for many hours so it is possible that there was an issue at the end of the process.

I suspect that you will have made a decision about waiting no longer and if you haven't tried yet, you should try removing the original source drive and replacing it by the cloned drive to see if the clone was successful and the drive will boot correctly?  (Assuming you are cloning a boot drive).
