Cloning Profile Partition  

Quite some time ago, with lots of help from folks here, I put my boot partition and user profiles/data on separate hard drives, C: and D:, respectively.

Recently, the drive for my user profiles, D:, started having a SMART error. This prevented a normal reboot sequence which has prevented me from being able to update Windows.

I decided to upgrade my storage. I replaced my 10,000rpm boot partition with an SSD. This went fine, the computer runs windows. Then I swapped my older WD Blue HDD profile partition, D:, with a current WD Blue HDD.

When I tried booting and logging on with the newly cloned profile drive, I was told "The User Profile Service service failed the sign in." and I'm returned to the login screen.

I believe I've had to fix this issue before at some point, but can't remember how and googling isn't working.

Please help! How do I fix this or how do I appropriately clone my user partition to anew hard drive when I have separate boot and profile drives?

It might be important that my original user profile partition was encrypted using bit locker.

My old C: was about 160GB and the new C: SSD is 250GB. I used Arconis (WD version) to clone.

Arconis wouldn't let me select my old D: drive as a source to clone, so I used Macrium. Both the old and new D:/profile drives are 1TB, WD10EZEX.

.for clarification, only the new C (boot) drive is SSD, both the old and new D (profiles) are HDD

SOLUTION:

Don't be dumber than the computer.

All I had to do was change the drive letters. The new WD Blue was assigned drive letter F when it needed to be assigned to D. Just used Disk Management to unassign the old D and assign it to the new F.
