Clone to SSD issue

[lozza23_uk]

Afternoon all!

I have recently bought an SSD for a machine and I am trying to clone the existing HD.

I was advised in gen hardware to try Macrium Reflect.

I have followed the web tutorial and found youtube advice from them however I am hitting a problem.

I get an error code and the cloning does not start. The error code is:
"The request could not be performed because of an I/O device error"

I have tried a different sata port, a different cable and power. I am a bit stuck as to what to do next can anyone offer some advice please?

Thanks in advance

Are you doing it in Windows or using the boot CD?

Within windows.

After many attempts I think the source drive has issues. When running a chkdsk it is getting stuck at 11%

Any ideas chaps?

Indeed it does, I have tried lots of different options to clone but now I think the source disc has an error it cannot get past. chkdsk finds nothing. I am going to persevere with another machine as a test bench see what happens make sure it isn't the ssd at fault.

After that I will back up and clean re install. All round best option but the most laborious.

Out of interest has anyone been able to successfully clone a primary (bootable) hard disc from an sata to SSD and boot straight from it?



Thanks for the time all.

Use the boot CD.

Yes.

This means the drive is damaged.

chkdsk /R may get you around it, but I wouldn't really trust a Windows install that has required chkdsk.

Do a fresh install and bin the old drive.


Moving forward, take weekly/monthly system images using Macrium.
