    HDD Cloning/UEFI booting?


    I was able to get my MBR HDD cloned to a 4TB GPT using Macrium Relfect. I've got the BIOS set to UEFI but it's not seeing the drive as bootable. Is there a step I'm missing here? This is on a Dell Optiplex 9010.

    cloning a HDD

    Thanks for a prompt reply. Yes, at the POST, i changed the boot order to point to the HDD that is attached via sata/usb cable. the computer still says there is no internal hard drive installed, and will not boot from the usb port that the cloned drive
    is plugged into, nor from a windows 10 repair DVD. The cloned drive shows a full OS and files identical to the internal HDD that it was cloned from.

    Failing HDD and Cloning

    You seem intend on this install clean install windows when I have said windows does not run on that drive and TeraCopy doesn't even budge anymore.
    for moving files from that drive. Then there are those that have suggested imaging and 1 or 2 that talked about cloning software.

    I now have 3 HDDs left...

    So nothing is copying, no cloning and imaging, now what?
