Dec 9, 2009I have dozend of idendical PCs - same mainboard, vga, HDD, LAN, RAM .. all is the same
instead of installing each PC manuell I setup one PC and use Acronis or Ghost to DNA copy the hard disk sector by sector
for xp64 all is working like a charm - after clone I set IP and PC name and that it
for Windows 7 prof. I do the same but my PC randomly reboot within 3min to 40min
I have
-no hint in event log (expect impropper shutdown)
-stoped most services
-killed all task
-no bluescreen, popup, error message
-"disable reboot on system failur" do not affect
-disabled all onboard hardware bios and disabled non importent devices
-lastest drivers (or factory drivers)
-disable all "energy save" options
-installed all Windows 7 updates and fixes
-Windows 7 boot without problems
-common up to date hardware
only "save mode" is stabil and not reboot (within 12 hour tested)
I install Windows 7 -> plug disk to other PC (new hardware found message about HDD) -> pc permanent reboot randomly within 3 min -> disk back to source PC -> all fine
I have no clue what to do.
Source Disk Won't Boot After Aborted Clone Attempt
Nov 15, 2012I had a perfectly working 250GB SATA HDD that I tried to clone to a 1 TB SATA HDD. I used EASEUS's free disk copy software. The clone said it would tas the one being cloned and not written to. The cloned drive had the data on it, but it was just corrupted because the clone never finished. I tried to get into recovery console from the Windows 7 CD, and it kept sayike about an hour and 20 minutes, and I read that it would be quicker, as all the free space would not need to clone over sector by sector. I aborted so that I could use different software that would quick clone. Anyway, afterwards, neither HDD would boot. The source drive should boot, as all it wang it was the wrong version. Basically the program screwed up both my hard drives.
Finally, I was able to get into a UEFI recovery console that allowed me to see that the cloning program somehow changed my partitions into GPT. The source hard drive is all intact, and I'm pretty sure the only thing that is screwed up is the partition types and perhaps the boot record. Is there a way I can edit the partitions to make them back to normal and bootable again?
Clone MBR Partitioned Boot Disk To GPT Partitioned Disk
Jul 4, 2012My current hard drive is dying, so claims Windows and Hitachi Drive Fitness Test. I bought a replacement drive 3TB drive which requires GPT partitioning. I have 64 bit windows and a UEFI motherboard, so I know I can use the drive as a boot drive for a brand new installation.
My question is how do I move the entire contents of my old drive to this new drive and keep it bootable?
I asked on other another site and they suggested I first let the Windows installation disk partition the drive GPT correctly for Windows, then copy the contents of the old drive to the new one. However, another person on that site said that that would break all the symlinks (didn't know symlinks played such a crucial role in the OS) and that I should use a cloning utility that knows how to copy NTFS. Was this person off base, or is it impossible to create a bootable copy of a Windows installation by just copying all the files (this would be from live linux of some type, not Windows itself)? If it is impossible, is there a utility that can copy the contents of a partition correctly, without needing to clone the entire partition table? Also, I have no room to make an image of my old drive anywhere.
Finally, does anyone know if clonezilla can copy an mbr partition to a gpt partition automatically, essentially doing exactly what I need, or will it always copy the partition scheme as well?

Replace Non Genuine Windows 7 Ultimate With Genuine
Jun 13, 2011Hi there, right now I have a non genuine version of Windows 7 Ultimate installed, I'm looking to replace it with a genuine copy of Windows 7 home premium. Could I do this with an upgrade disc or would I need to buy the whole OS? I'm trying to avoid paying 200$ to activate Ultimate.

'Windows Not Genuine' Message Even Though It Is Genuine
Jun 30, 2011I am using an Acer Aspire 5738G, which originally came with Windows Vista Home Premium. Later I got the free Windows 7 Home Premium update disc and never encountered any problem.
But since the last 1 month or so, I've been getting this 'Windows not genuine' message on a random basis. Microsoft Security Essentials says that it will disable itself within 30 days if the issue is not resolved. When I click on 'Resolve issue', an IE window is opened and takes me to Microsoft's website. When I do all the steps explained, everything goes back to normal and my Windows is again considered as genuine.

May 14, 2011I was wondering if there was anyway to clone or backup a Mac Hard drive from a Windows 7 machine. My friend's Mac got destroyed but managed to save the harddrive and left it with me to back up while he went on vacation.
Unfortunately I've never touched a Mac before and I'm assuming it won't even read the drive if I plug it into my PC since it uses HFS+.
I have with me the following things
- A Windows 7 PC and a Hard Drive Dock
- The 250GB HD from the broken Mac
- A Blank 256GB SSD that he wants to use.
Is there any software on Windows that will let me clone/backup the drive or read from it
Clone Windows 7 Boot Drive
Aug 9, 2011I have a hitachi 2tb 5400rpm drive, with my OS installed on a 500GB partition (100gb free). I just got a 1tb samsung spinpoint f3 which i want to use as my boot drive. I have tried 3 methods: 1. Downloaded clonezilla, and used tuxboot to create a bootable flashdrive with clonezilla. I used the i686 image of clonezilla. I made a partition on the samsung drive which is 10GB larger than the boot partition on the hitachi. 2. I used the windows utility to make a back-up image of my bootdrive. I then made a bootable copy of windows 7 live install on a flash drive. Booted off it and tried to restore from that system image. I got an error: The system image restore failed. Error: Error details: The parameter is incorrect.(0x80070057) 3. Same as method 2, but I used a CD instead. This time, i got this error: System image restore to new drive fails. 0x80042414

View 1 Replies View RelatedUsing Windows 7 Pro Image Clone Just Will Not Work
Dec 24, 2012I am pulling my hair out here as i just can not restore a windows 7 pro image backup to a 128gb SSD.
I have a Samsung f1 1tb drive which has a 48.7gb partition and a 882gig partition. The windows boot drive c is the 48.7gb Partition and the larger one is for storage.
I have used windows 7 pro image clone and make an image of the C: partition of the drive which is 45gb full and have stored it on a usb drive.
Now i have formatted the SSD drive as i have got windows 7 pro on there but there's far far to much work for me to get it back to the way it is on my Samsung drive.
I followed this guide
(URL)
now where it says
In the next screen just click on Next...there are no other partitions in this instance so we don't need to worry about excluding disks.
in the exclude menu i checked to see if the ssd was in there which it was and was unticked.
The restore process will begin. It might take a few hours to restore everything depending on the size of the image and how much data there is. Provided there are no errors and the process completes successfully, your system will restart and the system should be restored.
it says can not find a drive to put the image restore on ?
I have tried disk part and it shows that there are 2 hard drives there one ssd on a sata and the other on a usb with the image on there.
I can not for the life of me get it to put the image clone on the ssd drive.
am i doing something wrong can anyone help.
I have even tried to format the ssd and it still will not work
Clone Hard Drive Windows 7 On Tablet
Sep 26, 2011cloning a hard drive with operating system and all.
Details: I have a couple of tablet pc's (Motion LE1700). One is in perfect shape (1), the other (2) has a physical problem with the USB ports. I have installed and configured W7 on 1. I can't do the same on 2 because I can't connect to it. I would like to make a copy of the hard drive on 1, take the hard drive out, replace it with 2's HD, copy that back, and then replace both drives.
What program do I use to clone the drive, what steps should I take, what should I look out for? The drives are 64G SSD's and I have a 500G external USB HD for the transferring. I don't want to just reinstall everything because it's a PITA, I want to copy the good drive to the other one.
How To Clone And Copy Over Windows Partitions Onto A SSD Drive
Nov 22, 2010I have been lurking around and posting several threads over the last few weeks regarding how to clone and copy over my windows partitions onto a SSD drive.I feel a little overwhelmed with it all can I just confirm if I can do the following as well? The following is based on me thinking that it might be best to clone the Windows 7 partition first onto the whole drive and then shrink the resulting C partition to define additional partitions for the rest - owing to my dual boot set-up.
1. Align the SSD
2. Make a System Image and create Restore Disk of my C and D Drives.
3. Back-Up the files.Place the SSD into the compartment and power up.
4. Clean Install Windows 7 REM
5. Then apply the System Repair and Install the saved System Image which will identically place the C and D drives on the SSD
6. Then take out partition software and create an ext4 partition for linux (since I have and would like to continue with a dual boot).
Clone HDD To New HDD?

I would like to set up one system and clone the drive so that all four systems are identical. Each system is completely identical to the next as far as hardware goes. Can anyone suggest a high quality program to duplicate the first drive that is simple and quick? Time is very important as the systems cannot be down for to long.

Sep 14, 2012Because my current SSD has been giving me way too many problems mainly with BSODing randomly, and after reading that lots of people have similar reliability problems with the same model, I want to get a new SSD soon. However, I want to save time and just be able to clone exactly what I have onto the new drive.
I've heard that cloning from a HDD to SSD will cause problems. However I am talking about SSD to SSD.
The drive I plan on buying will still use a Sandforce controller, and will be the same capacity. Specifically my current one is the Mushkin Chronos Deluxe 240gb and I want to get the Kingston 3K HyperX 240gb.
The Kingston SSD I plan on getting should come with software that lets me clone, which I think is the Acronis one. What do I need to do to successfully and seamlessly transition my entire system onto the new SSD?

Now, this laptop is on a company domain so I don�t think any cloning tool will put it back on the domain so how does cloning work with domain laptops?

Jan 28, 2013I have an issue when trying to clone my main drive (a 64Gb SSD) whereby the clone fails shortly after starting with an Error code "Failed to prepare operations code: 10 'file system error is found' with extended code: 458,777 File record corrupt". I am using Acronis but get the same result using other cloning software. The clone partitions the destination disc and then produces the error code when looking/checking the file system. I have narrowed the issue down to the winsxs folder and in particular the files beginning amd64* & x86* by using acronis file back-up facility and attempting to back-up the winsxs file. I have copied the winsxs folder to another drive and can successfully back-up this folder in it's new location using acronis. I should add that checkdsk and SFC do not return any errors on the source files/folder and I have in the past cloned this drive successfully.

View 2 Replies View RelatedClone 60Gb SSD To 250Gb HDD - Not Working So Far
Apr 4, 2012I have tried everything by the book and have no luck. Here's the problem, I have a 4 drive setup:
-60Gb SSD (Windows 7 Ult x64 + some programs) (c)
-30Gb SSD (i)
-1Tb HDD (h)
-250Gb HDD (empty reserved for Win) (f)
As the 60Gb SSD drive is full I want to migrate the whole drive to the empty 250Gb HDD. Of course, no need to say that I want everything to run afterwards without any re-installs (also the files on i and h). I have tried many clone software (Paragon, EaseUS ToDo etc) and the clone goes ok, but it wont boot from the destination drive. Luckily enough I still have the original c drive otherwise I would be stuck! I also looked at the Windows backup and restore, but by default it want to clone all my drives and I cant deselect them (over a Tb of a backup??)
Now what can I do to get this sorted? I just want contents of the 60Gb SSD (with Windows 7) on the empty 250Gb HDD. Also, when cloned, the new drive is not 'c' anymore. How would all programs/files work? Or is the idea that you delete the original drive and then rename the copy to 'c'? I probably do something wrong, but a clean install would take days (as web designer I use loads of software and not looking forward to reinstall all those).
