Im using True Image Home 2010 om a Windows 7 Prof machine. In the past, when I cloned between two disks (320GB) the task completed within 2 hours. I just did another clone and it took 11 hours! Also, it appears the registry on target disk is corrupted after the clone.

Source disk: 5 partitions 40, 25, 25 203, 5 GB
Target disk: 5 partitions 35, 20, 20, 213, 5 GB.

So, Im increasing the size of 3 partitions and decreasing the size of one on the target disk.

Any idea why it took so long and why the registry on the target seems to be corrupted?

Thanks,

Hello
I am having a similiar issue. I clone frequently. In all the clones it's usually around three hours 500gb to 500gb.
I have this Sony Vaio desktop. I am cloning a 500gb to a 700gb. I started the clone four days ago. I looked again it was 4 out 6 around 45%.
That's four days. So I started it again. I can see by the screen it may take a few days. I can let it run for a couple weeks if that is what it takes
to get a clone (that I desparately need). I need to know if this is an aberration? I can see several long hours but days?
Let me know. Thanks

Hello Chuck,

Thank you for finding time to report about the issue.

This behavior is abnormal, and might be caused by the errors on the drive or in the file system. I would strongly recommend to run Windows diagnostics: 

Go to Start -> Run -> cmd -> chkdsk /f /r
and reboot the machine.

Upon booting Windows will check the drives, and file system for consistency, and fix the errors if any.

I would also recommend to check whether you're perform cloning operation according to these instructions.

Should you need anything else or have any further questions - feel free to contact us at your earliest convenience, we will be happy to help you!

Thank you.

I just installed a 512 GB SSD on my desktop and did a clean install of Widows 7 Professional 64 bit and application programs from scratch. I have 24 GB memory and an i7 CPU with 6 cores runing at 3.2 GHz. Everything is running OK. I'm attempting to clone (using Acronis 2013) the SSD to a 512 GB SATA II. It starts but is taking forever. Initial estimates were 15 hours, after running for 13 hours it was about 35% completed and estimated 14 more hours. Why is it taking so long? Do I have to turn off anti-virus software or something else?

Thanks

We MVPs always recommend that you Clone using the ATI bootable rescue media, rather than from Windows. That removes Windows issues from the equation.

Further, I would prefer that you do a Backup and Restore rather than a Clone. Backup and Restore are much safer and more flexible than cloning. There's almost never a need to clone. Backup and Restore will accomplish the same end, but in a safer procedure.
