I shut down the rescue environment, unplugged everything and swapped the HDD and problem solved!.

After 6 hours the clone completed successfully and showed BCD was successful while both clones were exactly the same.

I ran the clone from within the rescue environment.

I plugged in the Macrium Rescue Disk (Windows R.E 3.1 UEFI) – so the laptop boots from the USB drive and both Hard Drives are off.I woke early this morning thinking about it and decided to plug in the SSD.ĭoing this I realized the log for the last clone showed it failed to copy Boot Configuration Data(BCD), I believe since the computer was in use while doing it and both clones weren’t exactly alike. Using EasyUEFI (I started thinking UEFI was the issue)Īt a point I left it and went back to work.īoth disks had Master Boot Record(MBR) partitions so there was no good reason it won’t work. Running bcdedit and bcdboot via the command lineĬreating a Macrium rescue disk and using the Fix Boot option I spent the last few days trying everything: I went through the same process, swapped the Hard Drives & it refused to boot, saying windows cannot find a boot device. The clones for my Elitebook, Mini and Dell all went through without a hitch, plug, clone and swap so over the weekend, I decided to clone my beloved M6 (after backing up). I also ordered a couple of SSD’s during the Crucial Black Friday sales to upgrade my other computers. I purchased two 8GB Samsung RAM sticks, put them in and that worked like magic.

It’s getting a bit slow so I decided to upgrade it. My favorite computer is a HP Envy M6 which I bought in November, 2012 and has a lot of sentimental value to me as it was the first major purchase I made with money from my first business – Clue Webhost.

I’ve been working from home 90% of the time since the pandemic so not having a commute has given me some free time to pursue hobbies and tinker (I installed an entire 3KV 24V solar system some months back with google and tools).
