    I cloned my C: drive to my E: drive and i want to Format My C: drive


    I cloned my C: drive to my E: drive and i want to Format My C: drive 1a666643-451a-4ef2-8a72-738d1cb8f963?upload=true.png


    I have already prioritized my PC to boot from my E: drive which has a copy of my windows 10. I used Samsung's Data Migration tool since both my C: and E: are both from Samsung to avoid any hiccups or discrepancies. I'm worried that formatting my C: drive may mess something up because it still shows the Windows OS symbol hovering over my C: drive although i have prioritized it to boot from my E: drive. Am i missing something here?

    :)

    Cloning Drive C:/

    I bought a new hard drive so I could clone my main hard drive. The new drive was formatted after putting into an external hard drive bay connected using USB cable. I right clicked on my C:/ drive & chose copy. I then right clicked on my new hard drive F:/
    and chose paste. It then started to copy C:/ to F:/, but it eventually failed saying I wasn't authorized to access certain files even though I'm the Administrator of my computer. It also said I had a bad sector on C:/ drive. I then reformatted C:/ & tried
    to make a clone drive onto F:/. All that did was copy over ...

    $RECYCLEBIN, Boot, Recovery, System Volume 1, bootmgr, BOOTNXT, BOOTSECT.BAK

    It appears to me that all it did was make a boot disk in case C:/ drive failed to boot I could have the computer boot using drive F:/ which is not what I wanted. I already have drive E:/ for that in the same bay housing as F:/.

    What I want is an exact clone of C:/ drive, every program & file on it!

    Anyone got any suggestions?

    Can not extend C drive.

    You will have to move E: drive first. So expand E: drive to take that 10gb of space, then shrink it from the left...so that you can expand C: drive.

    You cannot have C:---E:---C:
    It must be C:---E:
