Clone Failed to write to sector of hard disk 2?
Hi,
I need a little help.
I've just brought a new hard drive and wanted to clone the old one to it and do a direct swap. There's nothing wrong with the old one it's just an upgrade.
I've brought a WD Blue 500GB hard drive (new). And downloaded the WD copy of Acronis True Image 2013 from their website.
I've got the new drive in a USB caddy to transfer the data.
All seemed well, however after trying to clone the drive I get the following error:
Failed to write to sector '3,541,824' of hard disk 2
Direct R/W operation has failed (0x590001)
I've tried it a few times and had the same message. There has been no data transfered at all.
I've run a disk check on the new drive and it says it's fine.
Is it likely to be a faulty disk (I did get it delivered so it could have been bumped about during the delivery), or is it something I'm doing. I was using the automatic clone tool.
Many thanks
