Windows 10: Macrium cannot clone a SATA HDD disk to a SCSI HDD (or SSD) now Solved

Hi folks
No problem with the SCSI drivers - I can image Windows on a SATA drive to a SCSI one (drivers are all there) but if I try and CLONE the disk it can't find the SCSI disk.

Not sure how many people use SCSI drives but for some things like VM's they are mega fast (or can be).

Windows 10 is the OS. Doesn't matter if I use the stand alone version of Macrium or the Windows version. The correct SCSI drivers are loaded in both cases.

Update -- should have done a bit of "RTFM" !!! solution -- redoply to different hardware --->scan for unknown devices then it gave me a message saying drivers found but not yet installed - then "injected" those into Windows -- now worked perfectly !!!

Marking as solved now -- "User error" !!!!!

Cheers

Unable to boot after cloning Sata HDD to Sata SSD

Hello,

I did cloning of my original Sata 1 TB HDD to New 1 TB SSD (WD) using Macrium Software. No issues found during cloning and everything went fine. I did swap the hard disk and when I turn on the laptop I am unable to boot to windows. I did try legacy boot
option and also UEFI option and non worked. Please note I didn't create rescue media before cloning, but have the old HDD with all the files intact. Can anyone pls help me resolve this issue?

Thanks.

Laptop: Dell Inspiron 17" 5720

BIOS Version: A19 Dell

OS: Windows 10
