Uninitialized Disk
Hi everyone. I just want to clone my operating system to my new SSD but along the way the dialogue box showed up. The new SSD is already formatted and appear in "This PC". I always clicked yes but unfortunately it still appear. How can I solve this problem?
Thanks in advance.

Hi! Thank you for your reply.
My operating system is Windows 10 Home. The version of Acronis that I'm using is Acronis True Image OEM. My SSD is Adata XPG 8200 Pro 512GB M.2 NVMe PCIe. I just want to clone my Operating System for my new SSD.. No, I did not create a Acronis bootable Rescue Media.

I think a bit more information would be useful. The error message refers to removable device, do you have any USB or eSATA devices attached, or a compact flash card. If so try disconnecting them.
It appears you are attempting to do a live clone, which can be problematic, as it can require a reboot into temporary recovery media (a temporary Linux installation) depending on various factors. It may be that the OEM version does not support live cloning (which was introduced in later builds of ATI 2018 if I recall conrrectly).
How is the old OS drive attached to the PC, is it attached to a SATA port, an M.2 port or in a USB caddy?
Whatever you do you should make a complete backup before doing the clone as things can always go pear shaped. It is often better to do full disk backup and then recover to the new drive, particularly when moving from SATA to M.2 drive.

Thanks Ian for the reply.
There is no removable device that is attached on my laptop. Yes the old OS drive is in my Hard drive which is I think SATA port. I will do your suggestion in making a back up. Is there any you can suggest in cloning my OS to my new SSD M.2 PCIe?

Darwin, is the new NVMe M.2 SSD physically installed in your laptop and can you see it in Windows Disk Management?
If your current boot drive is a SATA HDD and you are moving to the NVMe M.2 SSD then the latter will need additional device drivers and configuration in your BIOS, including the use of RAID for the SSD in all likelihood.
My operating system is Windows 10 Home. The version of Acronis that I'm using is Acronis True Image OEM.
Most OEM versions of ATI are based on an older version of ATI 2016 which does not support doing an Active Clone from within Windows 10, so which requires a restart into a temporary Linux environment. That Linux environment does not support NVMe M.2 or RAID devices, so you do need to create the Acronis Rescue Media and this will need to be using Windows PE with added device drivers for NVMe and RAID.

Steve has good advice on how to proceed.
The support for NVMe drives was added to the Linux recovery media recently - one of the builds of ATI 2019 I think. It is likely that OEM versions may not have Linux recovery supporting NVMe drives.

Thanks again for the reply Steve.
Yes, the M.2 SSD PCIe NVMe is physically installed in my laptop and I can see it in my Windows Disk Management. My current booth drive is a SATA HDD and I'm trying to move in my new SSD M.2 NVME PCIe. So what I need to do is to have a newer version of ATI so I can easily clone my HDD to my new SSD?
I thought ATI is easy as Samsung Migration tool because I already tried Samsung Migration Tool in my other Laptop which has Samsung 970 Evo Plus M.2 NVMe PCIe 500GB and the cloning process go smoothly.

Darwin, there have been many forum topics opened for this type of migration from SATA to NVMe M.2 which have been met with a variety of issues in completing.
First see KB 58006: Acronis software:M.2 and NVMe drives are not detected by Linux-based bootable media
See some of the following forum topics that may help you.
