Windows 10: Drive Partition view Reflect vs. OS?

Any particular reason that Macrium Reflect displays 4 partitions whereas the OS displays 3 (attached)?

Realized both images were of Reflect, missing image from OS. I removed one of the duplicates.

The OS only shows 3 partitions. It does not show the 16.0Mb primary partition?

Hard drive failing - What can I do to transfer/ clone my drive?

You can clone your Windows from drive to drive with no problems .

You do need enough space on your HDD drive to create a free space as large as your Windows C:\ drive

for the clone. The cloning tool will create the partition in the free space.

- Make sure the HDD gets a good defrag/optimise after doing the clone.

Note that you have been running Windows on an SSD for a long time that Windows will be
very slow loading from HDD.

I only really appreciated how much an SSD helps after cloning my Windows to a HDD for backup.

- Macrium Reflect is highly regarded.

AOEMI Partition assistant is another good free tool ( they use the term Migrate vs clone/image )

Free Partition Manager - AOMEI Partition Assistant Standard

- If you really want to be safe make two clones, if possible. Should lightning strike twice....

Windows 10 won't boot "Repairing disk errors this might take more than an hour to complete"

Do you know of any drive cloning software that will let me clone a partition to another partition? I tired using both Macrium Reflect Free and Acronis True Image Western Digital Edition.

 

We've speculated before here at TenForums as to the why but it IS a known thing that Disk Manager won't shown that MSR (Microsoft Reserved) partition. Even more debated in this forum is the utility and/or necessity of that particular one. *Wink
