Create a clone of W10 on a new NVMe drive.
Hello, From some time now I've been tackling an issue of cloning a system. No matter what I do, this thing won't boot. And no, I would like to avoid reinstalling everything, no matter the cost - it's so much configuring, I don't want to get into this. Here's what I have done so far: 1. I tried cloning a system by Macrium, AOMEI etc. It was really lousy, so I decided to do it better. The windows didn't boot at all, I did get the "reboot and select proper boot device" error, which clearly has shown, that the windows is not there. The other error was: "Press F9 or F8 to try again or continue". I tried to fix the system with bootable pendrive to repair system, but it couldn't find the system. 2. I tried using Paragon Hard Disk Manager - bootable edition - cloning the system was quite straightforward, I rebuild bcdboot, bootsect etc. And here and the results were much better. The windows is starting to load, but it loads infinitely and after a 30 sec or so, it displays this error: 3. In Diskpart there's no hidden Windows 10 partition - some of the tutorials of how to solve this issue show, that I should rename it and try to connect the boot with it, but diskpart doesn't show other partitions on this disk. 4. Both disks are MBR, I'm not sure if I need to convert any of them into GPT. Config: MSI X570 MPG Gaming Plus Ryzen 3800X Old disk - Goodram Iridium Pro New disk - Adata XPG SX8200 Pro What should I do to fix this issue?
I don’t use Acronis, but I can help set up an ISO backup of your Windows system. This way you can create a portable copy for safekeeping or recovery. Let me know if you’d like guidance on the process.
There’s no need to argue. The price is better with comparable features, and it functions properly. My main issue is with cloning errors, which is why I’m seeking someone skilled in that area.
It works well so far, though I haven't encountered any issues. I've used it in a formal environment for an extended period.
Don't understand what you're doing incorrectly. As usual, I suggest using Macrium Reflect to create a Rescue USB, then boot from it, and clone the drive when the system isn't running. Alternatively, you can use Macrium Reflect on another computer with a functional system to clone your setup. Initially, the first boot should only have one drive connected.
Let me help you decide. Could you share more details about what you're considering?
