Please see KB 56634: Acronis True Image: how to clone a disk - and review the step by step guide given there. Jonathan, welcome to these public User Forums. The other thing that I have noticed is that when Acronis shows me what it intends to clone, it does not show the hp recovery partition I am not sure if this is normal or if I just need to copy this to a USB stick too? If anybody could help me with this it would be greatly appreciated. This will then let me go to the next stage after this error message but I am not sure that it is safe to proceed. After the failed clone attempt had finished my drive did not show up under ‘This PC’ but will still show up in the disk manager section see picture.Īfter watching a video online I decided to try the method of creating a bootable media and holding shift and restarting the laptop, this eventually brought me back to Acronis but when I try to clone the drive in this menu I receive the error Acronis unable to lock disk, boot your computer from a linux based bootable device. Unfortunately I am new to this and therefore I do not know where to find this log and even if I did I am not sure that I would know what these errors mean. On my first attempt I attempted the clone in windows using the automatic settings in Acronis, the drive gets to around 95% complete and then says something along the lines of clone failed see log for details. The old hard drive is a 1.5tb drive of which less than 200gb has been used. Unfortunately I have been unsuccessful on two occasions at completing the clone and I can’t see where I am going wrong. I purchased a new SSD drive a week or so ago with the aim of sparking some life back into my old HP Pavilion laptop and thought it looked fairly straight forward on the Acronis videos. Hi everyone, I am completely hopeless with things like this but would really, really appreciate any help (I am not very tech savy).
