Posted January 5, 2015 Hi guys! I got a new SSD and want to clone my old one to my new one but it wasn't showing up so in storage menagerie i formated it and stuff and fooled around with it and it shows 120GB free of 120GB but i can't clone my old drive to it. This is what i get on screen with the software i use: In the storage manager it shows that the drive is MBR, just as my C drive. i can't use WD or Samsung clone software because i don't have a WD or Samsung drive. And yes, i've tried. I don't know what to do and need some help! Thanks!

Posted January 5, 2015 A few questions: What is the exact problem? What happens when you select the drive (if you can) and click Next? Which drive in that screenshot is the problem drive (Disk0, Disk 1, Disk2, etc?) Which version of AOMEI Backupper are you using (huge difference between 1.6.2 and 2.0)? † Christian Member † For my pertinent links to guides, reviews, and anything similar, go here, and look under the spoiler labeled such.

Posted January 5, 2015 The SSD has been formatted as GPT and your old one is MBR. Can't clone from MBR to GPT. Use disk part to clean the new SSD. Most cloning software don't require you to create the partition first, the cloning process should do it automatically for you. What brand is your SSD? Some will have their own cloning software on their site.

As a note there it says that this particular software does not support cross disk format cloning and you have to have the new SSD as MBR. Do have in mind that if you use your new SSD as MBR you might not get the full potential of it an miss on some important features. I see that your old SSD is a 60GB one so I'm guessing you have your OS plus a program or two on it. I would suggest a fresh install to avoid the formatting problems as well as any potential driver issue or data corruption issue. Captain_WD. If this helped you, like and choose it as best answer - you might help someone else with the same issue. ^_^WDC Representative, http://www.wdc.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
