Are you attempting clone from boot media disk? Why would you want to move an OS install from an SSD to an HDD? A more detailed explaination of what steps you did in your attempts may yield some answers.

My computer came with a 128gb SD drive to boot from. I have ran out of room on SD, and I prefer to us a to use a real HD, plus it has a larger capacity.
I have in the past cloned one HD to another with out any problems. I made sure the only 2 drives connected to the mother board are the SD and HD then I booted from the Acronis 2014 true image CD I created from Acronis True Image 2014. Then using the tools to clone the SD to the HD. I have tried using the automatic setting, and manual setting to copy as is, in both cases it almost finishes then says it clone was unsuccessful. The HD I'm trying to clone to us a 3TB drive.

Are you trying to clone a Win 7 install? If so, drives larger than 2TB under Win 7 must use disks partitioned as GPT. In addition the mobo of such a machine must support EUFI. It is not possible to clone a GPT disk to an MBR disk or vice versa. If you are attempting to do this then your extra TB on your drive is the issue.

The 128GB SD is windows 7 pro or ultimate.

Would it be possible to make a drive image of the 128GB SD drive, Then Expanded the image onto the 3TB Drive to get around the MBR to GPT??

Can you post a screenshot of Windows Disk Management screen. Would be helpful to have both drives attached to your machine before capturing if possible.

Hi!

I have similar problem. (Acronis True Image 2014)
I wish to Clone two 3TB HDD. Source is connected on SATA port in the PC. Destination is 3TB HDD (disk type is sata) an is connected on USB port.
When I try to select Destination the USB disk is grey - unelectable, but it is there.

Thanks
