Windows 10: Macrium Reflect 7 clone error

Windows 10 Pro ver. 1909 (OS build 18.363.959)

Trying to clone my operating system to a new drive I get the following error:

Error 0 unable to match partition Drive 1 start sector 467118080

Result code 0x8004230f

Can anyone help please?

Attempted cloning a WD 8TB usb hard drive to another WD 8TB usb hard drive using Macrium Reflect.

Hi DennisCPA

i don't know of a maximum size (nor can i find it mentioned), largest i have cloned is 4TB.

when i last had a clone fail, whilst checking connections of the destination drive i put it in a different port and it worked (i didn't investigate further), suggestion, check destination drive connections or try a different port

you may get a better solution if you ask in the Macrium reflect forums

CLONE with Macrium Reflect (6.3 full) ERROR 12348




I am getting a new hard drive WD1003FZEX this Friday to replace a 4 year old Seagate in my Dell XPS8700.
I backup every day using Macrium Reflect 6.3 (paid). I always look at the Log and get NO errors, none !!
In preparation I thought I try the CLONE method several times and each time got ERROR 12348.
I searched the internet for hours, tried several "fixes" but I still get the error. Any suggestions ????

Happy New Year,

 

How do I install windows 10 without harming my windows 7?


Here's what I suggest you to do:

1. From Windows 7, download & Install Macrium Reflect Free. Connect one of your new 500GB HD and clone your current Windows 7 to it. Follow step 1,2,3 from the screen shot:

1. Disconnect your current Windows 7 then boot up with the new cloned copy of Windows 7
2. Upgrade it to Windows 10 so it will be fully activated.
3. If you decide to keep Windows 10 then do a fresh install of Windows 10. If not, disconnect the 500GB HD containing Windows 10 then re-connect your Windows 7
4. You are back to where it was before.
