macrium clone system partition to empty usb hard drive. Does not boot
This old laptop only has one drive bay, so I use Macrium and clone the system partition to an empty drive in a usb caddy.
The partition is cloned and marked active on the new empty drive.
However when i transfer the hdd from caddy to laptop, laptop does not boot.
what happened?
Original hdd is MBR, destination hdd is MBR.
I selected OS partition as source, dragged it to empty destination drive, and let Macrium copy it over.
for some reason, the macrium rescue disk I create won't load up in this laptop either. It just shows a blinking cursor when I try to boot from the usb stick.
