Hello,
I am now receiving extra support from aomei. If it cannot be resolved I will have to wipe and reinstall the whole system. PA is reporting bad sectors on the (brand new) destination drive but not reporting any bad sectors…

Hi Peter,

Hello,
I tried again with PA boot up, I then realised that partition C (system) on clone drive was empty with no data in it. So I tried manually copying the partition and PA said "standard version does not support copying syste…

Hello,
I tried the clone this morning before seeing your post above. I cloned the drive internally connected to 1 of the other ata / sata channels. The clone worked and backupper reported success with no errors.
Hello Peter,
Thanks for the reply.
Firstly, the disk is in an enclosure. This is how I have been doing this for a couple of years, clone to an identical size disk in a usb enclosure, then make sure the clone has worked th…
Forgot to mention, partition assistant sometimes sees 2 boot partitions on source drive and sometimes it only sees 1 ?

Hello Peter (and anyone else),
Finally, I have run diskpart. I was a bit worried about it as I have not done it before. The results are below, please note that the source disk has 2 partitions used for storage. Disk 1 is the ne…
Well im out of ideas now.
Brand new destination disk and im still getting locked error, using partition assistant and also backupper.
Partition assistant is reporting that I will need to upgrade to full version if im goin…
Many thanks Peter,
I have tried those and no luck, the windows based firmware updater did not work and I could not get my machine to boot from the iso image either on a disk or usb stick. I also downloaded all of seagates tools…
Hello and good morning,
Well ive carried out the following tasks:
Backup all data manually to a working disk.
Create a windows repair cd disc.
Create a windows system image on a working disk.
<…Edit: I think the destination disk ive been trying to use may be faulty or 'bricked', now i feel a bit stupid for not even thinking about that possibility. Will now test and replace if needed.
Well this is worse than I thought.
Ive just tried windows backup / windows system image and windows repair disk, all 3 report failed.
I think im going to have to try and save everything I possibly can manuall…

Hi all,
Ive created an aomei boot disk on a usb stick, this now allows me to boot the system from the stick into partition assistant.

Hi,
Many thanks for your replies again.

Hi all,
Ok, I have tried several times now. I have tried manually creating the partitions and also a straightforward clone again, im still getting the 'locked' message. I tried using backuppers create boot media function too. I…
Thanks for all this info, I will report back when I have tried again. Yes, I agree my desktop system drive appears to be a bit of a mess ! First thing I will look at is the Bios in case there is some sort of safety / security lock applied there.<…
Thanks again,
I dont know much about partitions but will try again and try the “WinPEBootale Media” on the destination disk.
I have no idea why the source disk reports a 100mb partition labelled EFI System, but do remember the…
Many thanks for the replies.
If I have to perform the "WinPE
Bootable" on the source disk, then I wont be doing it. On the
destination disk I dont mind but im not risking making my source disk
un-bootable.
…Fixed : i had to convert the clone drive to gpt first.
Thanks,
I only have 1 disk in the machine. The clone drive appears to be ok but my bios does not like it ?
Here is a pic of my bios screen
:I have just cloned my laptop and it worked, perfectly.
When I clone my win 7 pro desktop, i get post message like "a device is missing".
The cloned drive is showing in bios and is the first boot device.
