Solve : Cloning problem?

Answer» <html><body><p>My 250gb <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/ssd-632663" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about SSD">SSD</a> was running out of space , so I purchased a 500Gb SSD. I connected it up and ran Macruim reflect I selected the correct option for resizing to a larger disc size, it cloned the new 500GB as a 250GB. As you can see from the picture attachment my main drive is E and my boot is drive C. I cannot change the drive letter of C to any other drive letter as it states that the drive is needed to boot. It seems to me the boot is on drive C and everything else is on drive E. If I try to clone E to C and start all over again it asked if I want to proceed as windows PE, if I click on this, then after the next dialogue box it states that it cannot start from PE. Where do I go from here?Depends on how you want the new drive...if you want the full 500G i would re-do the clone as is...you can then allocate and merge the rest of the drive into 1 drive...<br/>Also it appears you still have both <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/hdd-479551" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about HDD">HDD</a>'s attached...can you clarify this ?Hi <br/>You will need to be running Macruim reflect from a CD or pen drive to do this... <br/>First I would clone the first partition of your Drive 1 to somewhere like a pen drive. You will loose all the data on the pen drive. Drive 1 is your 250GB SSD.<br/><br/>Then clone back the first partition of Drive 0 the 500GB SSD this is the boot partition from the original 250 gb drive.<br/><br/>Disconnect the 500 GB SSD and check the 250 GB drive is <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/booting-772749" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about BOOTING">BOOTING</a> and loading windows if it does then you are back at the beginning before you <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/startedb-1949268" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about STARTED">STARTED</a> copying the drive. If not then you will need to do a windows repair install.<br/><br/>Now reconnect the 500gb to the sata cable you were using for the 250 above this will make the 500 drive 1 <br/><br/>Connect your 250 GB SSD as Drive 0. <br/><br/>Start Macruim reflect Now tick the box to the left of the 250GB selecting to copy the whole drive in the options you can select <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/resize-7257990" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about RESIZE">RESIZE</a> or do the resize after the copy. Good idea to check the 500GB boots before doing the resize. if it boots ok then job done.</p></body></html>
