Clone Disk just disappears

Thread needs solution

Trying to do Clone Disk from one hard drive to another. New Drive is smaller so I used the selective files to not copy photos, videos etc. After a couple hours of cranking, it finally comes up with the size being just fine. Press continue and Acronis just disappears from the screen.

The new drive only has one boot file, recycle bin and System Volume Information that is unaccessible.

Of course support for this product stopped on Jan 1 2015, so hence the post.

Does this clone actually work? Should I try a restore to new hard drive instead of Clone?
Thanks for any thoughts.

Always do cloning from the recovery CD, not from Windows.
Backup and restore is always safer than cloning, gives you more options, etc.

If you try to clone a system disk, the 2 rules above are even more critical. For a data disk, less critical.
