Issue with windows mail when cloning disks !

Thread needs solution

Hello All,

I am facing something very weird :

I'm cloning my father's disk (that become to small) with acronis to a bigger one to prvent me to resintall everything ...
It works very well, and then I'm switching the disks in his laptop, to boot on the cloned one .. everthiong works ok;

The problem arrives when i start windows mail because it find a failure on the mail data files and is restoring everything ... but it doesnt work perfectly since folders are changed, aso ...

I thought a cloning was creatin an exact copy, but it looks like here windows mail has some files changes in the procedure ...

Can anyone help me ! I don't want to resintall all his software :-)

Thanks in advance
Phil

What were your restore settings?

also, what version ati and windows are you using?

Also, instead of clone, I'd recommend dong a backup to a third disk, then swap out the old and new hdisks and then restore to the new disk.

Alternatively, swap the old and new disks, then boot with the ati bootCD and cone from the old to the new hdisk inthe machine.

Hello,
Thanks so much for your answer:

In response to your questions :
- My version of ati is : 2011 updat 2 (build 6868)
- Restore settings : since i'm using the clonig options, i'm not sure where this is set
- i will try to find another disk to do the procedure you mentionned, i haven't thought of that

Thanks in advAnce if you have any other ideas !

I do have exactly the same problem. After cloning HD ( Vista 32) via Acronis Boot CD everything seems OK except Windows Mail. Any ideas around ? Should I give it a second shot with ATIH 2012 plus ?
