  1. Trying to Clone HD to SSD with AOMEI and I get Error 5 "Failed to Lock


    Wasn't sure what forum to this in:


    I'm trying to close my HD to an SSD with AOMEI Partition Assistant. It errored out right at the end with Error Code 5. It could not lock the volume. I rebooted as the instructions said and nothing.

    When plugged into USB it is indeed cloned but as D:.

    I tried swapping it out and the laptop said "no bootable media" or wording to that effect. It would not boot.

    Anyone know how to lock the volume or get it to boot without having to spend the next 4 hours cloning the drive again?

    Thanks in advance.

    Jim

    :)

    Cloning HD

    I don't know about Acronis, but I use the Free version of
    AOMEI Partition Assistant
    to clone Drives and have never had any trouble . . .

    Cloning a SSD Drive

    Downloaded and Installed AOMEI Backupper as suggested. Reading the instructions at the AMOEI site as to how to use the Cloning feature does make it look real easy and simple.....

    When you open AMOEI the Clone Feature has a LOCK on it. When you click on CLONE a page open instructing you that you must Post a "Like" Text on a Social Media Page you are subscribed to before the Clone feature will be unlocked. Choices were Google, FaceBook
    and Twitter. The instructions were to post the text on your Social media Site and then enter that sites URL in the Block in AMOEI and cloning would be Unlocked. I copied the suggested Text, went to my FaceBook site, pasted the text on my Board and clicked
    share with all my Friends. I then pasted that FaceBook URL in AOMEI as directed and it came back it couldn't find the "KeyWord".....and cloning is still Locked.

    Is this what you had to go thru to use the Cloning feature of AMOEI? I have not figured out what I have done wrong. Right now my FaceBook page shows the required AOMEO Text and I have shared it with all my friends....so I have done what seems to be required.....AOMEI
    is getting advertising......and I have nothing. If I can't get this figured out I will go back and post an entry on my facebook page advising my friends...the AMOEI BackUpper may be easy to use.....but the problem is, you cannot use the Cloning feature and
    this is not disclosed to you until after you have installed MOEI. I really was looking forward to Cloning my New SDD drive and have it running in my PC...but all I have is an installed AMOEI with the Clone feature....Locked...and, I have given them some free
    advertising.
