I'm planning to use maricum reflect to clone my current harddrive.

I'm also planning to copy the Lenovo Drivers in the D drive to an usb and delete the D drive completely.

Any word of advise before I proceed?

My attempt to clone the old hard disk failed.
Finally did win10 clean install.

Later formatted the old windows partition as a data drive.

what did you use for cloning? how did you clone it? failed due to what reason? insufficient ssd space or any other anomalies?

I was using Maricum Reflect to clone the harddisk.

The program identified some errors with my harddisk.

Ran chkdsk and found the harddisk have some bad sectors.

ok got it smile.gif it's not macrium reflect, but bad sectors that caused the failure. bad sectors are hard failure. i guess this was why macrium reflect stopped to proceed.

os cloning is a relatively straight forward task, especially with today's toolsets. usually if everything is right, it will not fail. in the case of transcend's cloning tool that come with any transcend ssd, it even creates its own system partition layouts, so that the task can be done successfully.

thanks a lot for the clarification. it's much better to state actual reasons instead of letting readers to use their own imaginations.

also, be careful of your hdd that has bad sectors. it's better to replace it with a new one to prevent potential corruption of your data.

Thanks for the note. will send harddisk for warranty claim.
