Error 9 in Macrium Reflect during OS clone indicates a problem with the disk image creation process.
You have a second M.2 drive because games are demanding more storage now, and you're attempting to transfer the old setup to the new one using Macrium since it's a quicker SSD. Each time you encounter "error 9: reached the end of file (38)" during the copy of the main partition, you've tried disabling antivirus, cleanup tools, chkdsk, forensic mode, and checked for bad sectors on the old drive—nothing resolved the issue. You're copying from a WD sn750 to an SN850x both with 1TB capacity, and the PC is running normally otherwise.
Do the two drives have identical sizes when measured in bytes? The error message seems to indicate a potential issue with the target drive's available space.
Both drives are 931.51GB, with about 75GB available originally, which shouldn't cause a problem. The new partitions match the sizes of the previous ones, and once the error appears, you can copy the final partition separately without any issues—it's also the same size as the original.
It consistently stops working at 99% of the C volume, with the instructions indicating a problem.
Resolved the issue. Performed a new Windows installation on a third drive, then cloned the original drives from there. No problems encountered.
