Moving to larger ssd, VSS cannot access volume root
I currently have a 1 TB sdd in my laptop.and wish to replace it with a 2 TB sdd.
So, I purchased a 2 TB sdd and put it in an external USB container. I then:
1. Connected new SDD via USB to my laptop
2. Initialized the new SDD and created a single simple volume.(guid) using windows management tool
3. I own Macrium Reflect so I used it to 'clone' my current SDD to the new one. It used 'Intelligent Sector copy'.
4. The cloning went to near the end and then when cloning the 4th partition (data) i got an error message saying cloning failed. Log showed "write failed - 22 - 33"
and multiple VSS warnings:
"Source VSS
Volume shadow copy service warning: VSS was denied access to the root of volume \ \?
Denying administrators from accessing volume roots can cause many unexpected failures and will prevent VSS from functioning properly. Check security on the volume and try the operation again."
I'm not sure what to do or how to check the volume security.
Is the different SDD sizes a problem for cloning?
Any advice appreciated.
Thank you.
