Is It Possible To Clone a Windows 7 Backup?
I have used Fastone Drive clone to clone my Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit installation from my Western Digital 1.5 Tbt HD to my 1.5 Tbt Seagate backup HD. Unfortunately when I tested the clone it will not boot up and I get a Windows boot manager screen written in Chinese and I have no idea what its trying to tell me or what has gone wrong. (Please see attached file) I tried cloning again with the same result. My original drive boots up fine. It has a C partition and another storage partition. In theory both drives should have identical sectors after the clone with the exception of the serial numbers and make and model of the HD.
Does anyone know what is happening or if there is a solution? Is it possible to clone Windows 7 or are there some anti-clone security features installed on Win 7?
Your thoughts would be appreciated
Kind Regards
Chris
