Upgrade my razer edge

Thread needs solution

I am trying to go to a bigger disk in my laptop (razer edge). This has something called an UEFI BIOS on a GPT disk. I grabbed the Acronis TrueImage trial.

Source: Toshiba mSata 128GB
Target: Mushkin mSata 480GB

I took the mSata out of the laptop (razer edge) and stuck it in another laptop with a spare mSata slot (m18x).

I put Acronis in Disk mode (Full Backup and sector by sector).

When I put the new HD in the razer then boot, it get stuck on a screen "Attempting repairs"

Is there anything special I need to do for UEFI BIOS?

There is a problem with the latest public build (6514) of the recovery environment with GPT drives.

Are you using builds 5551 or 6514?

I'm assuming you cloned the drive, is that correct? Don't use sector by sector, use manual partition adjustment, make sure the laptop you are using for cloning, doesn't reboot until you have taken the new drive out of it, rebooting with both drives in will cause problems.
