Failure to clone
My question wasn't related to the recovery of previously deleted files that may still be occupying "empty" sectors.
I am aware that "Forensic" imaging will allow this (hence the name). :)
It was specifically related to Macrium failing/refusing to clone my friend's SSD.
To put it another way, the question was:
"Does anyone think that using "Forensic" will overcome the problem I encountered (i.e. his broken Volume Shadow Copy Service)?"
It seems that the answer is "no" and I will need to use the PE disc to bypass this issue (assuming my friend sticks to his bizarre plan).
Maybe my friend will now accept my recommendation to partition his SSD, reinstall his OS and programs, and then image it (to avoid this issue in the future).
I'm not holding my breath, as he has a pathological fear of partitions.
