SSD
Hi. I installed a SSD in my laptop--Acer ES1-711--and cloned it with EaseUs Todo Home Edition. My recovery partition was not cloned. I tried to cone the recovery partition, but that did not work. So I download Macrium Reflect and it say nothing copied insufficient space. the target drive is my old HDD, which is attached via usb cable to my laptop. I am hoping I do not have to take the ssd out of the laptop. What should I do? Any assistance will be appreciated. deanie 44

The recovery partition should have been been cloned. Try using EASEUS Partition Master and clone the entire Drive not just the partitions.
-
What make/model SSD did you buy? Usually with SSD's they come with their own version of cloning software or a software that they recommend using.

That's the brand (thanks), what's the model?

Sorry. SSD7CS900-240-RB. Thank you. Plankton, if I wipe the ssd, which is in my laptop it will be blank and I cannot use the software.

Thanks....so it seems it comes with a key for Acronis which is what PNY suggest you use. Why didn't you use it and why didn't you clone the whole drive when you first cloned it?
-
Thank you. I found the directions. should I take the ssd out of the laptop? Can I clone it with it inside? I did clone the entire system. should I clone the system or just the partitions?

Hi, just wondering- do you mean clone, i.e. an exact copy of the whole drive, or are you actually trying to create a disk image as a backup?
(A disk image is a compressed copy of the used part of the imaged disk(s) or partition(s) you have selected, which can be restored to a disk should there be a problem, or mounted so as to extract files and folders)

Dalchina I am trying to clone the drive again. When I use easeus to do It did not include the recovery drive. I am glad I did not buy rhe software. I am trying to clone the drive with Acronis True Image, which had a key included in the instructions. My fault. It seems to be working. Thank you. deanie44
