Went much faster and it actually cloned as expected. Went back to Macrium Reflect (which I had started downloading, but stopped because it was huge and kept stalling).
Shit, gotta be a better way than ruining some dollars by converting to funny money. Ah, cool! only then I notice that to actually clone a working harddrive you need the paid version (something like 16 euros). So, I start looking around.Father in law recommended Miray HDClone. Hmm.maybe it's that fucking fast restart bug! DISABLE. Yikes! Worse than Windows Update! But OK, it's what I'm doing, so go ahead.I expected that it would set one of those "Do this on next restart" tasks and happen probably before I could even login.Įxcept.the login page came up as normal. If you don't reboot immediately the copy won't happen! You must reboot before this copy can happen.
#Ez gig iv cloning software with data select for windows 10 license key#
Ugh.OK, well, the drive came with a license key for Acronis!ĭ.Select source.Select destination. I seem to be a victim of MS's CADT approach to user home directory layouts. Uh.yeah, but it's a tiny amount of data! You said you handled this! Ugh.OK, thinks I, I can outsmart this software! I'll create some giant "fake" files in Videos and tell it to exclude those!īut.it turns out that it can't find the directory. OK, plug in the drive, insert the CD and fire up the cloning software!ĮRROR: THE TARGET DRIVE IS SMALLER THAN THE SOURCE DRIVE The kids both got 500GB SSDs (one HD was already 500GB, the other was 320, so no problems there). Well, cool, my wife's laptop (only a few months old) had a 1TB drive, but there was less than 200GB on there, and I was planning on getting her a 750GB SSD.
I looked into the software, and it claimed to handle copying a larger drive to a smaller drive, even if there was more data on the big drive (you could tell it to ignore, e.g., Documents or Videos or something). I already had an Apricorn laptop kit that came with a USB connector and software, EZ Gig IV. I bought the wife and kids SSDs for their laptops this year for Christmas.
