Using Acronis True Image home on a laptop protected with Credant Mobile Guardian Shield

Thread needs solution

I am trying to "clone" my existing disk onto a larger disk. The existing disk is a 160 BG SSD. I have tried a 500 GB Hybrid, a 750 GB Hybrid and a 240 GB SSD. The software runs fine (on a Windows 7 Entrprise OS) and it appears to "resize" the disk accordingly. The software runs to a a normal completion. When I then try to install any of the new disk with the recently copied and upsized capacity, the PC boots int the famous Windows 7 4 pain window and then seems to get stuck. After a period of 4 or 5 minutes, the blue screen of death appears.

Is there something I have to do the existing hard drive (i.e. unencrypt it?) before running the Acronis disk cloning software.

You help is greatly appreciated.

P.S. I have successful use Acronis for many years but this is the first time on an encrypted drive. All the other times have been a piece of cake.

If you use Credant to encrypt your disk, you should create the backup in Windows, restore it on the target disk with your recovery CD, repair the startup with the Windows installation DVD and then reencrypt the drive.
Ideally, you would decrypt the disk first.

If you use credant to encrypt only certain files and folders, it should work. When you change disk size, it is better to follow Grover's guide here http://forum.acronis.com/forum/29618
