TI Clone disk function failing for Cruxial MX500 ssd 250gb
Hi All,
I need help please, I am trying to run TI to clone my HHD with just 178gb on it onto my new Crucial MX500 250gb SSD drive. It has failed every time.
I checked the evt files and it said a message about bad permisssions, so I ran it as administrator but it still failed.
I did more googling, saw some ppl said chkdsk /r fixed the issue, I tried that, then tried TI clone disk, still failed,
I am out of ideas,
these were the only warnings I saw, and stillgot them even after doing the above steps:
Volume Shadow Copy Service warning: VSS was denied access to the root of volume \\?\Volume{a4d4c6be-7804-4945-9212-e0eff958f3ca}\. Denying administrators from accessing volume roots can cause many unexpected failures, and will prevent VSS from functioning properly. Check security on the volume, and try the operation again.
Please can someone help me
Thanks
Patrick

Hi Steve
Thanks so much for your swift and extensive diagnosis of my files.
I think i would be happy to not copy the 6gb recovery partition onto my new SSD drive, do I have to delete it from the original HDD or is there a way to select which partitions I want to clone from the TI tool, leaving that 6gb recovery partition out.. but still keeping it on the HDD drive for backup.?
As for the old version of it.. the instructions that came with the Crucial SSD drive were to go to a site like this.. crucial.com/support/ssd then follow the instructions to download TI and that was the only version I saw available.
Thank you

Pat, there are some options where you can choose what partitions to include when cloning but this then will probably require you to manually size all the other partitions instead of using the automatic cloning / resizing feature.
For the above reason, I would opt for deleting the unwanted Recovery image partition from the old HDD using either Disk Manager, or else using a partition manager tool such as the free MiniTool Partition Wizard, which would also allow you to allocate the space freed to your main C: partition rather than leave it as unallocated space. Another benefit of using the MiniTool application is that it will also allow you to do a Surface check for the problem partition by right-clicking on this within the tool.

Thnx Steve... your 'Legend' title is well deserved!
I deleted the 6gb recovery partition and the clone disk worked.. no hassles.
Thanx a lot!
