UEFI/GPT Backup/Restore Using Acronis 2014 with Plus Pak
I have a laptop running Windows 8.1 that uses the UEFI/GPT partition structure. I am trying to backup and resize/restore this system to a smaller SSD in order to take advantage of SSD speeds. I have backed up and restored with both the windows version of acronis and the emergency startup version of acronis. I have added the new ssd using the aconis add disk feature specifying the drive as gpt. I restore all partitions in the order in which they were on the old drive. I only decreased size on the windows partition itself, leaving the recovery and uefi disks as they were. I cannot get the restored disk to boot. I get windows 8 error code 0xc0000225 when trying to boot. The windows 8 cd will not repair this disk. Can anyone point me to something? I have used acronis for years with no problems but it has always been using mbr partition structure. This is my first experience trying to move uefi/gpt partitions.
