Cereberus, Thank you for your reply. More than likely I'll do Cloning using Macrium just as I've always done because of it's being fairly quick and easy AND most importantly, of being able to do as...

Dalchina, Hello. I received the new SSD yesterday and am ready to finish this thread. This morning I ran the Crystal Disk program on the disk I'm currently using (C2B5). I also ran another Disk...

I had installed the program on a flash drive. Here are the snips (attached): 403435 403436 403437

Dalchina,
Just wanted to touch base with you. I'm still waiting for delivery of the Samsung SSD. Seems there is a big backlog and even used ones are now selling for more than new ones used to! FYI,...

Dalchina, Yes Sir! Thank you. I will NOT use the SSD 5291. Maybe someday I'll try to wipe it clean to see if it can be used in the future. I only use SSD's and have found that Samsung are better than...

Thank you for your reply. I'll try what you have suggested. You mentioned not knowing what was on the (System 'F' ) 100mb partition.
I believe it signifies Legacy Bios. YES, Legacy BIOS. I was...

Hi Dalchina, I've ordered a new SSD and they say I'll have it by January 17th. In the meantime, I ran CHKDSK C: /r/f after restart on SSD 5291 which is the source disk that had the problems. When...

Dalchina, What a fiasco! I have USB 3 but it still took well over an hour and it Failed because it said there wasn't enough space on the destination disk (88D2) 'H' partition. There was at least 80...

Thank you for your quick response. This may take a few hours to do and I'm pretty tired and need some sleep. I'll get back to you tomorrow with the results and will read any of your comments. Enjoy...

Please bear with me as I'm just a Troglodyte when it comes to these things! I think I'm on the right track but I'd appreciate your Yes or No or any other comments on this snip I'm showing as to where...

Here's what my disc looks like: Which partitions should I image? 402485

Yes, I only have one SSD installed. But wouldn't I need to attach another one to Image to? Also, I don't see ANY green or red check boxes.

Dalchina, I find many confusing things on this subject and apologize for my ignorance. My biggest fear is ruining the source drive! I would also be extremely happy to have an error free SSD. I wasn't...

While doing some digging a few days ago, I came across this saying to "ignore bad sectors when creating images". I checked the box and tried to clone but it didn't work. Is that because it doesn't...

Hello Cereberus, The drive I'm using now (5291) I've been using this as the source drive since 10-30-23 doing 7 clones without any failure. the failure(s) started last week. you said "Only one way...

Thank you. I'll check Backblase out. Here's more on the disk I'm using.. 402425

Not only did those clones fail, but both SSD's I tried to clone to, are now toast! I doubt they can be Imaged either but that's way over my head to even attempt. I'll just throw them into the garbage...

That screenshot showed two disks, the one on the bottom is the one I recently tried to clone. The one on top was the source disk that I'm using right now. It shows 98%. Here's a snip of the same...

The SSD (5291) that I'm using right now was cloned on 10-21-23. this SSD is working perfectly and is what I used as the source disk to clone the other two disks. How do I know those clones were...

Not sure just how I repeated my post. I'll try again. I have two SSD's that were successfully cloned previously (and not aborted) before Macrium had decided to do away with their free service. The...

Dalchina, Thanks for your quick reply. I also forgot to mention that the other day I reinstalled Macrium on a trial basis because they will no longer use the free version. I thought this might solve...

Not sure I'm on the correct thread but i have a similar problem with Macrium since their last update. I got an error when doing a clone of my SSD which was the first one in over three years. The...

Frostbyte,
I'm sad to say that changing the "wake computer" part of Power Management has NOT 'fixed' the problem. I'm still not able to have the "workaround" take me back to my mail. So, sad to say...

I commend you on your complete explanation of the 'whys and wherefores'! I've already changed the settings on the other computer on my desk. As its said, we are never too old to learn something new!...
