Macrium REFLECT ERROR: Can't clone HDD to SSD

[katka]

I simply cannot get it to work. All I want to do is to clone a 240gb HDD with win 10 to a 240 gb SSD. Out of thse 240 gb on HDD, only 130ish are with data, the other 100ish are free space. I've used this program before so I'm not a newb but it simply doesnt want to work (I should also mention that I've tried using AOMEI and again, didnt work).

This is the error I get when I try to clone it: Clone failed - Error 0 - Read failed - 23 - Data error (cyclic redundancy check).-Error reading MFT - Error code = 2. Please run 'chkdsk C: /r'

Obviously I've tried using chkdsk C: /r, even /f, after 4 hours of '/r' I tried again and still doesnt work. I tried checking online for some fixes but nothing that helped so far. I also do NOT use any antiviruses.

I really need to clone it, the option for a fresh install and copy the important files and then reinstall the softwares is a no. I simply dont have time for that, there are to many softwares to install and most importantly to configure that I really do not have time for that. Can someone help me clone this hdd? What's causing this error? I'm simply out of ideas/solutions. Waiting for reply, thanks

Data error (cyclic redundancy check).

Drive is dying. It has bad sectors and the only disk clone tool I know of that you can force past that is Norton GHOST (the old old old DOS version, with command line switches)

Kinda sucks if someones trying to clone a dying hdd and the clone software just goes "nope!" …

 

Anyway, these guys say they can (wouldnt surprise me if macrium can too as their biggest competitor…)

note: there seem to be different instructions for either data or OS drives… i dunno.

Hello everyone, I had a hard drive that stubbornly wouldn't clone or image, giving me "Error 0 - Read failed - 23 - Data error (cyclic redundancy check)". I tried everything suggested in this and other forums to no avail. Windows disk checking, CHKDSK /R, DISM /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth, sfc /scannow, turning off the Verify File System options in various places, the "Forensic Sector Copy" under Advanced Options when cloning, the "Ignore bad sectors when creating images" option under Other Tasks -> Edit Defaults and Settings -> Advanced Settings -> Advanced Backup Settings ... none of it worked. 

 

I visited the Macrium forum and found this post which solved my problem with a post from Matt92:
https://forum.macrium.com/55961/Reflect-Home-Error-9-Read-Failed-23?PageIndex=2

 

Matt92 seemed to have had a similar problem that I did (mine was slightly different), and he seemed to have tried all the same stuff I did. However, he used a third party disk repair tool, Hard Disk Sentinel Pro, to further identify and correct some bad sectors that CHKDSK /R wouldn't correct. 

 

It seemed unbelievable to me that CHKDSK would fail to repair sectors that were still repairable, but upon using a third party disk repair tool, the sectors were repaired. Thereafter I was able to clone the drive without the dreaded Error 0 - Read failed - 23 - Data error (cyclic redundancy check) bug. 

 

I wanted to post my corroborating evidence on the Macrium Forum, but I don't have a Supported version of their product that would allow me to post to the Forum. So I found this page in a Google Search result and figured I'd pass along my success story. Hopefully it helps someone else!
