Help with cloning XP HDD to SSD
Hi,
I need some help with cloning my HP6910p notebook HDD to SSD using Acronis true image 2014 and running XP.
I have tried cloning in windows and boot from acronis recovery usb and then tried to make clone, both with failure. I have put the new ssd disk into the computer as it should.
My old hdd and my new ssd is the same size, 128gb, and my new ssd is a kingston hyperX savage.
So I need some help what try...?
thanks,
regards

Thanks for the help.
I have now followed the steps mentioned, and it did start cloning, but... After around 2min it came ut with an error message, cloning failed. And from the fault message it says that "file record corrupted" ( 0x70019 )
What does this tell..??

ES,
I think your old hdd is beginning to fail. Your purchase of the SSD is timely.
You could run chkdsk which might repair the old hdde. Or you could do a "Restore". Personally, I would try the "Restore" first.
Please let me know how you do.

Hi,
Just an update.
Did run scandisk and defrag on my hdd. And after that it did clone my new ssd, started up with the new disk and everything seams to be working fine:)
Is there some other program and settings I need to do since I am running in XP?

Es,
Congratulations on your success! And thanks for providing your feedback.
As far as other programs...Do you have the full version of ATI 2014 or the limited version that is included with some SSDs? If you only have the limited version I would recommend upgrading to the full version of 2014. I don't know if Acronis still offers upgrades to 2014, or they may require you to upgrade to 2016. Either way, I recommend acquiring an external hard disk...USB3. Start doing backups on a regular basis.
