Cloning going wrong

[Dangerous_Dave]

Hi all,

I'm trying to liberate an SSD from my laptop and go back to HDD, but when I clone the partitions from the SSD onto the HDD, the resulting hard drive does not boot the laptop (I'm copying them all individually because the software I have makes a mess of just cloning the whole drive (it badly resizes the partitions).

Any ideas what I could be doing wrong?

Thanks! That worked first time! I'd been using EaseUS some-piece-of-crap, essentially telling it to do the same thing, but the result bluntly refused to boot. Wish I'd known a few hours ago!
