![]() ![]() Each would represent your hard drive's state as of the moment the image file was made. You can make a new image every day, week, or whenever, and keep as many as you like if you have the space. It becomes useful when you formally "restore" it to some other drive, at which point that drive is immediately bootable. You can move or copy it like any other file. Macrium imaging merely creates a file with an mrimg extension. The target drive is immediately bootable if the cloning succeeds. If I can't clone the drive, how else can I copy the working system from the HDD to the SSD?Ĭloning is a one-step process that transfers the contents of 1 drive to another in real time. I need to get this system transferred to the SSD. I have run a CHKDSK M: /r /f on the source disk and there were errors found, and they should have been fixed. It's been at 36% for over an hour how.Īt the moment, the source and target drives are installed in USB 3 enclosures, connected to USB ports on a Window 10 Pro computer. I don't recall what Seagates software did, but it did not work.Ĭurrently I am trying to make a backup image of the source drive with EaseUS and it's sitting at 36% and the access light on the drive is still blinking. I haven't received any kind of failure message. EaseUs ToDo Backup runs for a while and around 40% the % stops incrementing. Macrium runs for a while, then stops around 50% with an error 9 and says something about a Semaphore timeout. CloneZilla just doesn't try because the target disk is smaller than the source drive. ![]() I've tried using CloneZilla, EaseUS Todo Backup, Macrium and Seagate DiscWizard. I have tried several times to clone this HDD to the SSD but it never works. I purchased a Seagate Barracuda 120 500GB SSD to transfer the system from the 750GB to the 500GB SSD. There is well over 400GB free on the drive, including an empty 280GB partition. I have a Windows 10 installation, with LOTS of apps and documents saved onto a 750GB hard drive in an Asus laptop. ![]()
