cloning a drive ask to reboot but nothing happens
Hi,
I'm just trying to clone a 120gig ssd drive with my os and applications to a new 256 and when asked to reboot it goes back to windows and no cloning happens... I have only the 2 drives plugged in and no external usb keys or nothing else plugged in the computer.
I tried a few times but it's just not working.
anyone has a solution?
thanks!

Use the Acronis recovery CD/stick to do the clone operation. Do not reboot with both source and cloned disk in the system.

Why does this problem occur with ATIH 2014 (Win 8)?
I have cloned many times with ATIH 2010 & 2011 (XP) without the "reboot" problem.
To use the bootable media, the process is much more aggravating, i.e. change the boot order, change UEFI to Legacy, clone, then change the bios back to normal.

It is due to security permissions built into the Win 8 family of OS's.
