macrium Drive simply refuses to clone to a new Drive

MattShnoop · October 27, 2016

So, I just bought a new hard drive. I'm upgrading my mass storage drive in my main PC from a 2.0TB one to a 5.0TB one. It's better all around. It's where I keep music, videos, pictures, and games.

After stealing an extra SATA cable from my brother's DVD drive, I got to work. However, soon after scouring the internet to find the best cloning software, to get my 2TB drive's contents onto the 5TB one, I encountered an issue.

When I installed the suggested program, Macrium Reflect, everything was working fine. Until, at 2% into the clone, every time, without fail, I get this error:

Clone Failed - Read Failed - 13 - 32

Why is this?

I've tried at least 6 times, each time changing settings, including the advanced settings, and even telling it to clone everything without checks. Still nothing.

I then tried to run chkdsk E: /r, but that didn't work either: failing at about 60% the first time and failing when I wasn't watching the second time overnight.

Here is the chkdsk copied directly from command prompt:

I would really not have to reinstall all ~200 of my games and reset all the programs that have stuff hooked to the drive. Any solution to this problem would be worthwhile, as long as it doesn't result in data loss.
