Windows 10: Macrium Clone Problem

Hello friends at TenForums,
After cloning my Windows 10 drive with Macrium, my PC goes directly to bios. Windows will not boot unless I manually select the drive after bios starts. Attached is a photo of disk manager showing the disk in question with 3 partitions. I tried different utilities including Windows recovery startup repair and they give me different info, (drive letters, active partition, etc.). I thought it was just the BCD, but it appears to be more than that. Any help would be appreciated.

:)

 

Win10 chkdsk: "Deleting extended attribute set . . ."

I am also having the same chkdsk problem.

I think I have narrowed the problem down to Macrium backup s/ware I use for cloneing. Is any one else useing this ?

The cloneing options in Macrium do mention reparse points with a yes/no option.

I am still to experiment with these options. I will let you know if they clear the fault.

Never had this problem with Acronis and cloneing. And I have been cloneing boot drives for years.

Macriun beats Acronis hands down for ease of usability. I hope we can sort this.

 

Windows 10 SSD data migaration

The software was the problem, Samsung Data Migration didn't work.

Now I did the clone with Macrium reflect (that supports win10) and it worked!

 

Have you tried the F key in BIOS setup that restores defaults - or possibly optimized defaults? It will probably be on the last "Save & Exit" screen and should be something like F9 or F10. Also try removing either the power or the SATA cable from the second drive and booting with it disconnected to see what happens.

 

Thank you for the response. I disconnected and reconnected the other drive and now Windows is booting normally. Would be interesting to know why the clone affected bios and the source drive. Thanks again.
