Unable to clone or back up Windows 10 Pro.
Today’s updates are mixed. I’m attempting to duplicate my MvMe .2 to a larger storage device. I’ve also tried the same size drive with another version of MvMes, but it didn’t work. This particular drive is an XPG Spectrix 540g and it often fails unexpectedly. After rebooting via BIOS, it reappears. I used three different tools: EaseUS Partition Master 15.0 (86% success), Sabrent offline clone with direct method, and Macrium Reflect (latest version). All three reached around 86% before a hard reboot. The system shows no boot drive after the process, but it restarts normally afterward. Pic confirms the issue persists. I need a safe backup of everything—system files, games, and more—and want to upgrade MvMe. I’d even consider sending it to Linus for a clone, assuming he’s open to it. It’s new, so it shouldn’t be too problematic.
Maybe try to run chkdsk c: /f /r then try to duplicate the drive, it seems that something is corrupted on it.
I haven't tried any of these tools before. Acronis has been helpful in the past. It's unclear if a free option exists, but it might be worth exploring.
It seems the M.2 NVMe drive isn't functioning properly, even after trying a different motherboard. Results remain inconsistent, and the system shuts down before BIOS can detect it. After two power cycles it appears to reappear. I don’t want to repeat this often, as it disrupts the system and causes stress.
