Drive clone problems

[Wing-Man]

So i have cloned a few drives this week on the 4 systems in the house and ever one as failed.
the clone is good, and it will boot from the clone. but ones i pull(or format) the old drive nothing.
it will just post to windows recovery but cant be fixed in any way.

so the kids and my main rig that have all had NVMe 2tb upgrades over the past 2 week have all ended up been fresh installs.. for the kids not really a bad thing.

But my nas/play rig (not raid) i don't really want to lose the info on it.
when i say nas its more just plex not like a server... anyway what am i doing wrong

i using macrium reflect, doing a clone, booting from said clone, the on format or old drive pull its dead

What process are you using in Reflect to do the clone? I've used Reflect multiple times this year and each time worked perfectly aside from once when I manually configured a clone instead of letting it do its thing. Corrected the error, recloned and all's well.

Just clicking clone this drive.. and picking the destination drive. I’ve used it before a lot but now it just not working after the clone.
I’ve never had a problem before.

I’m going to try clonezilla today
