Cloning software wont let me select what to clone on a partitioned disk
I bought a PNY SDD 480gb to clone my operating system to and even thought PNY support insists the Acronis True Image 2015 will allow me to select the contnet to clone, it will not.
i have even created an Acronis boot disk and it still wont allow this.
the process just gets tot he select destination and won't let me select anything.
I'm cloning on my desktop from a 1tb partitioned to two disks with 212 gb of material to migrate on the boot disk.
the 'manual' option works EXACTLY like the automatic option and i'm about at the end of my rope.
everyone isisted i could clone over just my operating system block and not both partitions, but this isn't happening. Makes me almost sorry i bought the blasted thing. :(

Nope no Raids at all on this beast.
i was affraid you would say that about the OEM software.
it looks increasingly like i will have to try the backup option, if that fails i will have to take a day off to reinstall everything. not the first time that's happened :)
thanks for the quick response.

Have you tried the backup and restore method instead of cloning - if there's no RAID, that should do the trick. Cloning has a few other limitations (such as not supporting disk with different sector sizes - newer SSD's and newer drives or drives over 2TB are often 4K, where older drives are 512Kb). Backup and restore should work fine.

You say that as though that is a problem. Understand, there is no reason to clone. A full disk mode backup and restore includes everything that a clone would, but is much safer. I see no reason to clone, ever.
