After cloning both ssd not working
hey!
i tried to clone a win7 System from one ssd to another. after that win7 wont boot on both ssd's. a short errror occured: memtest.exe currupted or so. when i put the ssd in another System to Format it or to repair the boot section, both ssd wont Show anymore. i tried to search them in the System configuration and disk Management - not appearing. then i tried to do a System recovery with the original System DVD (as recommended everywhere in the Internet) but the DVD starts but the System keeps shutting down and booting from DVD before i can get to a single menu.
so what can i do? it seems like both ssd's are dead now...
help would be nice, greets, phil.

hey! backup and files are no Problem. it's suppose to be a clone of OS disk with all installed programs. i am working on a hp z620 Workstation on which i just installed the System and programs all new (took me more than one day). And now i just wanted to clone the System disk to avoid future complete installations because as a busy filmmaker and graphic designer i cant waste a whole day watching Installation columns from Zero to hundred percent ;-)...
i bought a brand new crucial 200MX ssd on which the clone-attempt took place. is it garbage now? anyways - i just have the original hp win7 System recovery DVD which came with the Workstation. will it not work with that?
just in case - i got a original Windows XP DVD - should i give it a try with that? i mean, i am at the Point to want the ssd back - with or without a proper System on. just to be recognised by the System...

UPDATE: Tried the WinXP Installation disk - not working. I made a Win7 Rescue Disk that worked but no drive was detected. I tried to see if the bios recognizes the ssd in first place. but the hp z620 seems to be a Special case. it wasn't possible to enter the bios, and there are no informations in the WWW how to. I mean... then i tried it in another win7 System - the bios doesn't recognizes the ssd there with every necessary Option enabled. i guess thats it. My new SSD is a Piece of GARBAGE. Buy - Unpack - Acronis Clone - throw away!
