Unable to clone my system partition + recovery partition to a larger capacity HDD
Am I missing something?
I have Windows 7 Pro on my HP Z800 Workstation and Acronis True Image 2014 Premium on a DVD disc. I want to clone my OS C:/ partition plus the SYSTEM D:/ partition on my internal 500GB HDD to another internal 2TB HDD so I can then switch the 2TB drive as my primary system boot drive and subsequently restore the 2TB drive to the originally retail installed state of the 500GB drive.
So far it seems I've tried all options available within ATI but I always end up having only cloned the primary OS C:/ partition, and no addition SYSTEM D:/ partition. What am I not doing?
Can anyone shed some light for me? I feel strangely inadequate.

Most of us would recommend that you perform a full disk mode backup, followed by a restore to the new drive. That would be safer than cloning.
