    Unable to clone new SSD for System Disk


    Hi, I have purchased a Crucial MX500 to increase storage over the existing 250GB SSD I have tried to use Crucial's clone software (Acronis), and also Media Creation but the clone fails every time, (well it doesn't fail but the new SSD is not bootable). I have run chkdsk for the old SSD in it's numerous forms and it all passes, but after the clone Windows does not recognise the new SSD as a system disk. Crucial have run out of ideas and told me to do a fresh install on the new SSD, but with 80 programs on it that I will have to load up I'd rather not have to do that. Winver 19041. 1052

  2. Unable to clone new ssd

    Hi Jim

    Which software did you use to do the cloning?

    If the drive drive you replacing is equal or larger in size, you could create a system image and restore it:

    You can also look over the steps for cloning using Easeus ToDo:

  3. Unable to Boot to Windows 10 after Cloning old SSD to new SSD

    Hi,

    I'm not using the SATA ports. I'm using M.2 with the SSD, and the external SSD is connected to my PC using USB. My MB only has only one M.2 socket, so I can only plug in one SSD at a time. (I bought a wrong adapter that doesn't work with NVMe) So I cloned
    my old SSD to an external SSD (Samsung M3 Portable SSD), and then swapped the old one, cloned the external SSD to my new SSD.

    I tried AOMEI too, but the free version does not come with disk clone functions. I would probably try Macrium Reflect as suggested above. Thank you!
