Hello everyone,
I cloned my original SSD with Macrium and thought that if something went wrong, I'd just have to swap the original SSD for the cloned one and everything would be fine. But guess what, the cloned SSD won't boot; I get BIOS messages about a missing boot device or something.
Does anyone have any idea how I can proceed to make this swap of the two SSD cards work?
Best wishes & happy holidays –

Loading...Hello Community, I want to make a backup. For this, I use an empty HDD with 1.81 TB from the Western Digital brand. The data to be backed up is 309 GB. However, as soon as I start the copy process, an error message appears stating that there is not enough storage space available. Why…
Hello, Today I'm having trouble copying a 1.23 GB file to another folder. I thought it would be relatively quick, but unfortunately, I then saw that I was getting 355 KB per second. It says it will take 3 hours to complete the copying… (I have to copy it to a USB stick) I don't…
Hello, I currently have a 1TB SSD that's full, and I'm getting a 2TB SSD for Christmas. My motherboard has a PCIe 3 and a PCIe 4 connector. Can I put the 1TB on the 3TB and the 2TB on the 4TB? Will I still be able to boot/move my system and some of my…
Hello, I have an HDD and an SSD, both with quite a lot of data on them, but my HDD still has Windows 11 on it. How can I put Windows 11 on the SSD?
I cloned/mirrored an SSD to a new SSD using Samsung Data Migration. The new SSD now uses 13 GB less storage than the old one. Did it not transfer all of my data, or what could be the reason? The computer boots from the new SSD without any problems and the transfer was successful.
Hello everyone, I've tried performing a secure erase on my Samsung 850 Pro SSD several times. I also changed the USB stick to #1 in the BIOS, but I always get the "Bad Shim Signature" message. I sold my PC and would like to get rid of all data, including Windows. Are there any other…
When cloning, errors often occur. If it’s just booting, you can try to fix it with a Windows installation stick (provides an option). Otherwise try again. There is usually the option only to clone the operating system, that’s safer, but I don’t know how to keep it up with updates. They are temporarily stored on a partition that is then missing. Just did this to get Windows on a USB stick.
Probably you didn’t knock all, so also the small hidden UEFI boot partition at the beginning of the original plate. Or there are other plates in the computer.
How exactly did you clone?
I don’t think about cloning, because of such bug bugs, they can happen all the time. We also have no idea if you did something wrong.
It’s like you should have been kissed.
The only thing that remains is to reinstall Windows to keep your data but you now need a third hard drive pure for Windows.
