I glanced through your how NOT to do this post late last night.
#Acronis true image 2014 clone disk windows#
At the end of the cloning process, the system should be shutdown, the HDD disconnected, boot media removed and then restarted to boot Windows from the new SSD.
#Acronis true image 2014 clone disk install#
The recommended method when cloning is to install the new SSD drive in the computer, replacing the original HDD drive which should then be connected as a second drive (internally or externally) and the computer booted from the Acronis bootable Rescue media to perform the cloning. Some applications, including those from Microsoft can be based on disk signature for activation. One important point when cloning is never to attempt to boot into Windows with both the source and cloned drives connected as this can cause a disk signature collision which can then cause other issues because one of the signature has to be changed. In principle, cloning from a HDD to a SSD drive should not cause any issues of the type you have described but this is assuming that the clone is an identical copy of the source drive, including the disk signature from the source drive. Please see forum topic: CLONING - How NOT to do this which contains a lot of useful information. The problems start after the OS has initiated.

I don't feel it is a hardware incompatibility because the computer does boot into Windows 8. The only difference was we did alter the size of one of the recovery disks since the first cloning process was giving recovery disk errors since there was only 8KB available on that partition.Ĭan anyone shed any light on this? It is to the point where it is not functional that we would put the old drive back in since this is a computer she uses for work.
#Acronis true image 2014 clone disk manual#
The process used was the same as this one here except it was a manual as opposed to an automatic cloning. I did check to make sure the logical sector size matched up between the two hard drives, it did not allow us to use the disk management to check whether it was a basic or a dynamic disk as advised in the topic here: The cloning proceedure was done using the Acronis CD upon fresh boot and initiating the Acronis GUI before the OS started.

I've done a number of disk cloning procedures previously with True Image 2014, but this is the first time I've had this many problems. None of these were issues before we tried to clone the contents of the hard drive, and seeing now that there are issues with program access am wondering if it has to do with the windows key license, or the registry somehow looking and recognizing a different hard-drive type and capacity than it otherwise had. Certain licensed programs like Word and Excel cannot be used simultaneously. There is basic access to things like the task manager, or disk management that are now no longer funtional, Microsoft Word will no longer allow her to open up a new document upon startup, it will not allow her to save documents and gives a disk space error, the anti-virus cannot create a log, and basic internet use is slower that it is on her mobile phone. What happens is that the computer hangs upon trying to reboot or shut down the system. Originally once the symptoms started I thought that it could have had something to do with the partition type MBR vs GPT, but we went ahead and cloned the disk image a second time using the type from the source hard drive.

I recently did a cloning of my girlfriend's Windows 8.1 system to migrate data to an SSD, and there are many issues that the computer is experiencing after completing the process.
