So if anyone would like to make instructions for Linux, or Mac, feel free to do so. Currently I only have Windows instructions. For example, over a decade ago I used Norton Ghost for all my disk imaging, and that could reboot to another environment to clone the current partition in just the same way.This guide is for anyone who needs to migrate from an HDD to a SSD, or vice-versa… You can also clone the drive to move it to a bigger drive. I just happened to get a Crucial drive, so I used Acronis, but I'm sure there must be others, free or otherwise. Note: Acronis True Image for Crucial is just an example, and it only works if it detects a Crucial SSD, so don't waste time on it if you don't have one. I've just used this successfully on a new Crucial SSD: You mention it's a Crucial SSD things may have changed since the question was asked, but today Cricual SSDs come with free Acronis True Image for Crucial, which can clone the current partition as I've described. The reason this is possible is that after prompting you for all the info about what cloning you want, they reboot to a special environment and perform the cloning there instead of under Windows. Some of them provide a specific function to clone the partition on which the operating system is currently running. It depends what cloning software you use.

Then select your C: drive (assuming this is the SSD) from the "Volumes to include" section and your destination (this would be somewhere on your 1TB HDD) in the "VHD File name" section. This will resolved the issue mentioned by Techie007. Start up Disk2VHD and ensure the "Use Vhdx" box is not checked, and that the "Use Volume Shadow Copy" box is checked. Assuming you're running a Microsoft Windows OS, this can be achived with the use of disk2vhd and vhd2disk.įirst download a copy of Disk2VHD from the Microsoft Sysinternals website. ![]()
