Macrium Reflect - Clone HDD to SSD

UPDATE:

I have just got back to looking at this.

The problem is the SSD [ Disk 1 ] cloning process I think:

> System Reserved is (Active, Primary Partition) instead of (System, Active, Primary Partition)
> Win_10 is (Primary Partition) instead of (Boot, Page File, Crash Dump, Primary Partition)

Probably because they ONLY show up for the Booted Drive ?





> Could there have been a glitch in the Cloning process ?
> Have I wrongly performed the Cloning process [ Log posted above in Post #7 ] ?
> Is there a way around this, or do I need to re-do the Cloning Process ?
> Should I swap the HDD for the SSD, would that make a difference ?

Thanks.

Hello @zbook,

There may be members that know whether the third party software used has or does not have the feature to restore an image.
Then clean install Windows 10 creating the default four partitions.
Follow by restoring only C:.

Yes, that could possibly work.

The thing is though, I should just be able to Clone the HDD to the SSD and then Boot the SSD !

I haven't used Macrium Reflect for years, so there is a possibility that I may have made a mistake during the process even though it is pretty straightforward !

UPDATE:

Could it possibly be to do with the SSD disk id of the previous owner when he prepared it before posting ?:

Code:

        <!-- disk is the 1 based index of the disk -->
        <!-- id is the disk signature and is used in place of the disk index if specified -->
        <source_disk id="30CF9D4A">1</source_disk>
        <target_disk id="9877E129">2</target_disk>
        <!-- Y/N or blank, use the chs values from the source disk. -->

Therefore, do I need to perform diskpart > clean [ on the SSD ] while attached to the Laptop first and then re-do the Cloning process ?

Since it is a second-hand used SSD and you are going to live with it, before venturing to do anything else, install Kingston SSD Manager and ascertain the status of its firmware and health. I think SIW2 mentioned it earlier in this thread.

Here is a sample screenshot.

@jumanji,

Thank you. I will do that shortly on my Desktop.

EDIT:

It can NOT be done. It just picked up the installed SSD Desktop OS disk and NOT the second hand SSD disk.



@zbook,

Here are the diskpar info results for the SSD. Obviously attached rather than Booted:

How come

vol 1 =...........................................vol 5 ltr F
vol 2 ltr C =................................ vol 6 ltr G

1) vol 3 ltr I..........does not =.......vol 7 ltr H ?
2) vol 4 ltr D........does not =.......vol 8 ltr J ?

3) vol 5 ltr F in the info column does not display system ?

Exactly.

Obviously diskparinfo was run while Booted from the HDD with the SSD attached.

This is why I am asking those that use Macrium Reflect if I have performed the Cloning operation incorrectly and whether it would be worth re-doing it even though ALL the data [ Partitions ] is actually on the SSD ?
