Cloning corrupts system disk
Summary: Attempt to clone Windows 7 System Disk results in unbootable original disk
Using True Image 2014 Premium to make a clone of the system (C:) disk on Windows 7 on a running system (i.e. booted up on Windows 7, not the Acronis disk). Was trying to clone to an identical disk (WD 2TB Green). After Acronis spent some time "thinking" (I think it said something about calculating disk size) it said it had to reboot the system to continue the clone.
When the disk rebooted it said:
"Starting Acronis Loader...
Acronis Loader fatal error: Boot drive (partition) not found."
Tried to do Windows Startup Repair several times, but continued to get the
same boot message.
Not happy when backup program trashes the drive it was supposed to protect.
Thanks for any help.
