I am trying to clone a small drive in an old laptop to a larger drive for the extra storage I have used just a straight clone onto an unallocated disk , formatting the disk with exfat deleting the volumes so that the disk becomes empty and even tried it with the disk marked as RAW.
However much I try I keep coming back to failing with error 8 any thoughts on the matter would be greatly appreciated as I have tried reinstalling Windows onto the larger drive but for some reason the net connection just keeps dropping out so I feel a clone is the only way I can fix what I want to do.

Am at the moment cloning one of my other machines and am going to try cloning staright to thathoping the smaller disk will clone by overwriting the clone I am making.
