Cannot clone original install

Ok I have the original 7 install upgraded to 10 Pro on my Sandy Bridge build. The drive is 250GB and is getting to be full to the point where I would really like to clone it to a larger drive because i am using 10 a little more now.
However I have tired 7 times now to clone using Macrium Reflect which in the past has not missed a beat. I have first cleaned (each attempt) the drive to be cloned with DISKPART and left it unallocated - no go cleaned it again and formatted it - no go cleaned formatted and made active - no go.

The clone proceeds from anything between a 12% and up to a 89% complete and then fails and my only other option is to clean install 10 onto the larger drive .In my pics you will see windows with messages I don't understand I did have other screens but I thought these might be something to go on .

Anyone can shed some light on this please I would really appreciate it after a hell of a week getting the main machine working again.

Yes Navy mate I am doing exactly that and tried the unallocated formatted and active options and each time get a different % of clone. I haven't dragged anything down as usually it just - well clones.

In that last pic of mine that whole drive was unallocated and it set it up like that with the small partition at the front leaving the be part of the drive unallocated.
I'll try again and if no go might jus try Aiomi for the clone.

Ok a no go again I tried the drag drop but in pics is what happened

I think problem is due to unallocated volume on drive being a logical partition not a primary partition.

Try this

Open a command prompt with admin and type following

diskpart

list disk

select disk n (n= number of new drive probably 1)

clean

create partition primary

select partition 1

format fs=ntfs quick

active
assign

exit

exit

and now try to clone.

I will hav to be quick because y replies have started dropping out again I will try that by t way the Aiomi clone failed something to do with sectors??

Soory mate failed at 40% 12th attempt

Use a sata connection. Easiest is to put target drive inside the machine in another drive bay.

If you can't do that, you could try image and restore using something like eassos restore, or partituion guru ( which uses the same method).

Not tested eassos restore/pguru in that scenario, but it may work. It is possible Aomei image may also work.

Ok did a chkdsk on the OS disk in case there were errors but clone failed yet again will have to try a claen install
