Clone HDD to SSD Help Please

Sandycheeks · 5 Apr 2015 at 21:53

I have just used Macrium Reflect to clone the HDD to a new SSD.
My C drive is a 120GB partition on my HDD with 97GB on it.
My new SSD is samsung 850 EVo 240GB.
After cloning the C partition I now have a 120GB partition on the SSD with only 64GB data on it.
What have I done wrong ?
I didn't want a partition on the SSD and where is the rest of the data ?

Also, I have attached the SSD to a sata port and made sure AHCI was turned on in the Bios

Its macrium reflect,it doesn't expand to fill the whole drive,just go in disk manager click on the ssd and expand the current partition to fill the space of the ssd

Its in the guide I posted

Sounds good but where's the rest of the data?

Sandycheeks · 5 Apr 2015 at 22:05

Idk it should be an exact copy

Could always clone again,also how much ram you have? Pagefile will reserve same amount in ssd space but that still won't explain the missing data

Cloning again now, it seems to clone fully when drag drop but only partially when selecting....
Will post back in a min

So same again

I've not used Macrium, but it could be excluding the page file, hibernate file and any shadow copies (system restore etc) from the backup to the other disk.

download Samsung data migration tool and try with that

idk why macrium is throwing a wobbly

Could it be because I am logged on as user -jack
I have a admin profile that never gets touched and a user profile - jack.

every time I try to log in as admin I get the message that it's not possible and that I have been logged on as a guest.

I have the Samsung tools as they came with the SSD, just didn't bother looking as already had macrium installed.

wazza300 · 5 Apr 2015 at 23:07

Could be permission related,Samsung's data migration tool works good as well though,

Sandycheeks · 5 Apr 2015 at 23:10

how do I fix the admin log in first or should I bother ?
Like I said, no one ever uses it anyway, I just set it up when first installed win 7 as instructed by others.
Should I bother to try and fix it or just attempt to clone using the Samsung data migration tool

wazza300 · 5 Apr 2015 at 23:12

If you log in as admin will it let you set permission on the HDD and ssd you want to clone for jack to full control?

Or try right clicking the macrium reflect icon,then run as admin then clone

Sandycheeks · 5 Apr 2015 at 23:14

it wont let me log in as admin.
I get a pop up message saying its not possible and that I am now logged in as a guest

wazza300 · 5 Apr 2015 at 23:16

Try right clicking macrium icon then run as admin,then clone

If that don't work try Samsung migration

Sandycheeks · 5 Apr 2015 at 23:41

I have started the Samsung Migration tool but it states a total data migration of 79,690MB
so I still appear to have about 10GB missing.
I'm beginning to think I need to sort out the admin user login first...any ideas how to repair just the admin profile without causing damage to the other user profile.

It's ongoing right now so will post back as soon as it's finished.

So tempted right now to just fresh install onto the SSD then wipe the old C drive.
