Cloning of system disk SSD to larger SSD failing
Using Acronis True Image 2014 (Build 6614), when I attempt to clone a disk, I am getting the following error:
“Error code 10 ‘File system error is found. Consider checking the disk using Check Disk Utility.’ With extended code 458,766 ‘Directory corrupted’”
I have run CHKDSK on both partitions (i.e. C and D) on the source disk and it reports no errors.
The computer is a brand new HP Z230 workstation, running Windows 7 Professional 64 bit, and I am cloning from the factory-installed 128GB SSD (system disk) to a brand new (unused) 256GB SSD, both of which are installed internally as SATA devices. I have also run full hardware diagnostics on both the source and target disks and all tests were completed successfully
I tried initially cloning after booting from Acronis bootable DVD, first trying the Automatic and then trying the Manual option, and both attempts failed. I then tried doing the same from Windows, and again both attempts failed, and that was how I was able to get the above error description from the Acronis log.
Can anyone please advise on how to resolve this?
Thank you for the suggestion. Unfortunately, there are no partitions on the target disk, and the only non-lettered partitions on the source disk are the "Recovery" and "EFI System" partitions, which it appears cannot be assigned letters.
I have downloaded and looked at your logs. My recommendation is to do the disk check again on C and D and the recovery partitons if possible.
When checking for disk errors, one method is
From a eleveated command prompt or run as administrator command prompt
CHKDSK X: /R (where x is the drive letter being checked)
Sometimes it is necessary to run the repair more than once if disk errors are found on first run.
Usually, the non-lettered recovery partiton will allow a drive letter to be asisigned but may need administrator credientials.
The cause of the problem was a file system error in the hidden partition described as "EFI System Partition".
The solution was, since this partition had no drive letter, to first assign it one using DISKPART in Command Prompt, and then boot from the windows install disk, select Advanced Methods, then Repair, then Command Prompt, and from there run "CHKDSK : /F", and the errors were resolved. After that, cloning worked.
Great! Thanks for fix update.
just tried the fix from GroverH and it worked a trick thanks for the info
