boot selection failed A recent hardware or software change might be the cause
I need someone a Acronis to address this.
You tout your customer service as highest priority.
There should be a known solution to this.
I am running Windows 64. The clone took 20 hours to complete. Swapped drives and this hassle.
Oh and your USB clone did not work either.
Either get me a solution or tell me how to get my money back.

Well if Clone does not work then I do want my money back.
I've used other clone software and it worked, just not on Windows 7. I figured I'd buy the latest and greatest.
I only bought it for Clone and the stupid add on where Acronis swears you can clone to a machine of different hardware. Which I highly doubt it works.
The clone appeared to work, I looked at the disk using the USB drive connector I bought, which did not work with Clone.
"you may not have followed recommended procedures for cloning" that is techno-babble. If Acronis made it any more difficult than chose source, chose destination then proceed they are insane.
Acronis just does not know how to tell Windows 7 to use a 'new' drive on a replacement.
Now how do I get my money back?

I didn't say that Clone doesn't work. It does work, but you should follow the recommended procedure.
Allowing Windows to boot with both original and cloned drive attached causes at least one to become non-bootable. That is a Windows issue, not caused by Acronis and not an Acronis issue.
If you're wanting to move the OS to different hardware, then you want a Backup and a Universal Restore, not a Clone. I think part of your problem is that you assume you need a Clone, when it appears that Backup is more appropriate.

I did not have both the old and new drives in the computer.
"Windows 7 to use a 'new' drive on a replacement." I replace the old with the new, exact same type of drive just different last 6 digits of MDL.
Exact same SATA port.
Forget the different hardware... If this does not work that will not work.
I WANTED to do a clone. It suxs that I had to spend $79.99 to find out that it does not work, even tough Acronis makes it seems EASY.
They left out the part of actually making it work.

As Tutle says, you cannot clone a disk and use it on a different motherboard. YOu have to use a disk image and Universal restore.
