lol no, welcome to these user forums.

Sorry but too little information to know where to start advising you on this cloning issue.  

Please see topic post: 128231: [IMPORTANT] CLONING - How NOT to do this!!! which has a lot of information about the do's and don'ts of cloning, one of which is that you should not attempt to boot into Windows with two identical (cloned) disks connected, which it sounds as if you are doing here!

Sorry, but still too little information to work with here.

What exactly did you do?  
What version / build of Acronis True Image are you using?
How did you perform the clone operation?  Was this from within Windows or by using the Acronis Rescue media to boot the computer?
What type of disk drives are you cloning?  How are these drives connected?
Did you make a backup of the original disk drive before starting this clone operation?

Have you tried putting everything back to how it was from before the clone attempt?  i.e. having the original boot drive installed where it was last working correctly, removing any other drive or changes made?

Have you make any changes to the BIOS settings?  Have you checked the Boot order / priority in the BIOS settings?

Screen shots of any of the above might help with our understanding of the problem you are reporting.

i used the cloning drives tool in acronis

i cant tell u exactly what kind of acronis it was - its on a pc i cant access

from whati remember, i followed the instructions on the screen. I chose source and target hard drives, picked to format the target 1, it was empty, aside from"system reserved" partition, created for windows 7, i accepted and had it run and shut down after the process is done.

I was cloning HDDs connected to motherboards with sata cables. I wanted to move my system to a larger disk.

No, i didnt make a backup - the program was supposed to just work, or not ruin the previous drive, so i can go back to that.

the only bios changes i made were boot order, so it boots from the other drive.

I couldnt give u screenshots, even if i had them, cuz i cant get into windows.

lol no, sorry but I am still struggling to try to help you here.

Cloning is a very powerful tool and one which if used without proper care and precautions can equally destroy your system and render it unusable.

Have you tried removing the larger target drive from your computer and changing the BIOS boot order to point back to the original source disk drive?  This is the recommendation that I have to make to you to try.  If you have truly selected the correct source and target drives for the clone operation then the source drive should be unchanged.

Screen shots can be captured from a mobile phone or digital camera if Windows is not available.

it didnt matter where i plugged either of the disks.

Also the informantion "WVJNA is compressed. Press ctrl alt del to restart" appears in bios right before where windows should boot. After "booting from cd/dvd". Its that simple.

Sorry to hear the news.  I have never heard of or seen "WVJNA is compressed" nor can I find any hits for this that mean anything.

I can only recommend opening a Support Case with Acronis Support to see if they can offer any further help to you.

its this, but on w10 and after cloning

And i cant access acronis support, cuz every time i try, i get the form to fill up with names, numbers and other data, including "Company size", which doesnt exist, yet is mandatory.

Have you tried following the instructions from the webpage you gave?

its a different system. Would win7 installator have an option to repair the WRONG windows? Wont it try to overwrite any previous installments?

You would need to use the Windows 10 install DVD and try the same steps as listed, assuming that this issue is being caused because the option to Compress this drive to save space is enabled for your Windows 10 drive C:

If you don't have a Windows 10 install DVD then see webpage: Microsoft Windows and Office ISO Download Tool for help on downloading an ISO image of this that you can burn to a DVD and use.

If you can get to a Windows 10 Command line prompt from the Install DVD or Recovery Console, then you can use the COMPRESS command to uncompress the problem files, folders or entire drive.

C:\WINDOWS\system32>compact /?
Displays or alters the compression of files on NTFS partitions.

COMPACT [/C | /U] [/S[:dir]] [/A] [/I] [/F] [/Q] [/EXE[:algorithm]]
        [/CompactOs[:option] [/WinDir:dir]] [filename [...]]

  /C         Compresses the specified files.  Directories will be marked
             so that files added afterward will be compressed unless /EXE
             is specified.
  /U         Uncompresses the specified files.  Directories will be marked
             so that files added afterward will not be compressed.  If
             /EXE is specified, only files compressed as executables will
             be uncompressed; if this is omitted, only NTFS compressed
             files will be uncompressed.
  /S         Performs the specified operation on files in the given
             directory and all subdirectories.  Default "dir" is the
             current directory.
  /A         Displays files with the hidden or system attributes.  These
             files are omitted by default.
  /I         Continues performing the specified operation even after errors
             have occurred.  By default, COMPACT stops when an error is
             encountered.
  /F         Forces the compress operation on all specified files, even
             those which are already compressed.  Already-compressed files
             are skipped by default.
  /Q         Reports only the most essential information.
  /EXE       Use compression optimized for executable files which are read
             frequently and not modified.  Supported algorithms are:
             XPRESS4K  (fastest) (default)
             XPRESS8K
             XPRESS16K
             LZX       (most compact)
  /CompactOs Set or query the system's compression state.  Supported options are:
             query  - Query the system's Compact state.
             always - Compress all OS binaries and set the system state to Compact
                      which remains unless administrator changes it.
             never  - Uncompress all OS binaries and set the system state to non
                      Compact which remains unless administrator changes it.
  /WinDir    Used with /CompactOs:query, when querying the offline OS. Specifies
             the directory where Windows is installed.
  filename   Specifies a pattern, file, or directory.

  Used without parameters, COMPACT displays the compression state of
  the current directory and any files it contains. You may use multiple
  filenames and wildcards.  You must put spaces between multiple
  parameters.

didnt work. Also it uncompresses the loose file on the drive. It didnt uncompress folders, nor the disk

It will uncompress folders and subfolders if you use the right combination of parameters, i.e. the /S parameter.

i ran compact /s u in c:\. I unpacked everything, i guess. Every file said "new files wont be compressed". Didnt help.

Old disk had the option to compress files on, but it was working, i wont uncompress those, cuz i literally have no room and i dont remember packing windows folders. I remember not compressing windows.

Any other ideas? What if i used some kind of backup image form a different computer with win10?

I am running out of ideas of how to help here as have never seen this problem before and have never heard of such a problem being caused by simply cloning from one drive to a second one.

If you try to take a backup image from a different computer then you may face other problems such as licensing and activation for Windows 10, but you would also need to create and use the Acronis Universal Restore media to prepare the restored image to work on your hardware, which will be different to that it was installed on in the other computer.

Do you have an Acronis disk backup image from this computer that you could use?

No, but windows offers a system image, doesnt it? It has this option as 1 of the advanced repair options, so why would it rely on 3rd part program?

Lol, if you have a Windows System Image of your system from before this problem then you could boot from the Windows 10 Install media and try to recover from that system image.

This forum is for the Acronis True Image product not for the Windows Backup tool hence my questions have focussed mainly on the Acronis side.
