Cloning a partition
I don't uderstand why I can't clone a bootable partition to my new solid state drive. I have a physical disk that has five partitions on it one of which is labeled c: which has the OS and program files on it. I want to move the OS and program files to the new SSD but Acronis DD11 won't let me do this. Other than re-installing everything on the new drive (which sort of eliminates half the reason for buying Acronis) what can I do?

Thanks much. Could that image be stored on a partition on an external drive?

Sure, but you don't need to partition the external drive. Disk backups or partition backups are stored as compressed .tib archives. You may store many such archives on a single disk, in fact as many as you have space for. There's no need to separate them into partitions.

Many thanks. I'm in the middle of the process and am looking forward to seeing how fast this machine will run with an SSD.
