Given this post is about free Macrium, can anyone comment on the stability of free V6. Also, comments on making a suitable free restore pe CD/ISO could be very useful to users as well as me:).

Specific comment on pe v3 vs v4 vs v5 and the need for new WAIK downloads is a bit confusing for me at least.

The paid version is stable. Since the free version uses the same code it should be stable too.

Installation of the free version on Windows 7 also install the needed WAIK components for PE3.1 about 200MB. I don't know what would be installed for Windows 8 or 8.1 but the install dialogue says it selects the most suitable components so it may install different PE components. I haven't tried PE4 but for PE5 there is an additional download when you create the rescue media of the WADK which is around 500MB. The main reason for using PE5 is it supports UEFI and secure boot.

My 1T seagate barricuda drive that came in my dell Insperon is heading south. I have a new wd 2TB inbound. This is the way I want to go but I can't determine if the clone will have any phantom errors or will the clone recognize the new drive is 100% good?

If your existing HDD has faults then cloning or imaging it is not a good idea. It is best to get your personal data off the old HDD as a high priority then do a clean install and transfer your data back. I think Dell are pretty good at providing disks to do this. Keeping system images using the likes of Macrium Reflect is your best insurance policy in the future.

If the PC has the sata ports and bays you may want to consider an SSD as your main OS drive and the 2 TB as a data drive.

BTW you generally don't need to clone. A system image is a more efficient approach.

Just did an Macrium image from one ssd to another ssd (c drive) as a backup, now the "just imaged" disk will not show up under disk management with reason" this disk is offline, there is a signature collision with another disk" How do I solve this, worked a 100 times in the past without issue.

You need to physically disconnect your cloned backup SSD. Swap it over if/when you need it.
If you force the clone online then a different disk signature will be assigned but I think you will find it will not boot.
I would recommend using system images to restore to a new drive in the case of drive failure. It is more efficient and you have a number of recent images to restore from.

Take a look at this thread:

You might have to run a startup repair after you change the signature if it's a bootable disk

HAA!! It lives. I woke up Wednesday and all I had was a blinking curser on my machine. I followed thru and got a WD Black 1T HD and figured if it didn't work might as well go with a SSD for C if I have t do it the hard way. Folks I had already downloaded the http://www.macrium.com/reflectfree.aspx free home version and created the USB boot before my OEM C died a few days ago. It took me while to get my PC to boot from changing the boot order to the DVD windows disc and get win to run. I held my breath and followed the clone steps and it FREAKIN WORKED! Now Im running on my new WD Black and I also got a new SSD Samsung 850 EVO 250 G while at frys. I figured if I had to do a total clean install might as well do it right.
I had page faults for a month and when it died the bios dell tests showed error 2000-0142 validation 3605

I am now back among the living on the new drive and the folks at Macrium are my hero's.
Now Im going to create an image to a WD green drive I bought by mistake first and put it away for the time being. Then Im going to figure out how to install the SSD as my C with operating system. Love this place. And if anyone can point to a thread or tutorial how to change to the SSD that would be icing on the cake.

Were it not for this software Id be doing a clean install and pulling my hair out.

You may not have intended to get that Green but getting it was not a mistake. The WD Greens are ideal for storing backups on, making your acquisition more of an unexpected, fortunate event. I have twelve of them (seven 2TB and five 4TB) that I use for the backups of the three WD Blacks in my desktop machine.

Well now I have different but not fatal problem. My BIOS shows the new green drive in the bay since I put in the new green drive and took out the OEM barracuda drive. Yet it does not show in my windows directory and my external D Seagate still does though. I even tried moving it to a different SATA input on the MB and its shows no problem on the BIOS but windows seems to not see it. I can live with this but I just wanted to image a copy to this before I pulled it to figure out how to install the ssd 250g and make it primary.

Here is the tutorial i use as a guide for transferring an OS from a HD to SSD.
http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/149969-ssd-install-transfer-operating-system.html

I have multi-boot PC's, I use the free Geeky method.
I'm not sure if the easy paid product would work for me with multiple OS's (never tried it).

Anyway, for me it's free, i learn, and it works !

If you want to do a clean install on the SSD, that's something different...

David, I have multiple OS's and use Paragon Migrate. It works perfect. When you start it will show every OS you have installed and just ask which one you want to transfer. See this if you care to watch.

Thank you obi-wan Steve :)

I never used Paragon Migrate because i never needed to migrate from one hardware/install/os to a different hardware/install/os.
I've read about it, just never thought i needed it so far for what i do ...

I've done a lot of "migrates" to a new storage structure/device (SSD/HD), using macrium and/or acronis.

I'll have to look at this, and do some re-thinking ! :banghead: ;)

Have you tried looking for it in Disk Management? It may need to be initialized before you can see it to format it.

Well now I have different but not fatal problem. My BIOS shows the new green drive in the bay since I put in the new green drive and took out the OEM barracuda drive. Yet it does not show in my windows directory and my external D Seagate still does though. I even tried moving it to a different SATA input on the MB and its shows no problem on the BIOS but windows seems to not see it. I can live with this but I just wanted to image a copy to this before I pulled it to figure out how to install the ssd 250g and make it primary.

Have you tried looking for it in Disk Management? It may need to be initialized before you can see it to format it.

Yup. Found it and its online and I have already transferred some stuff to the new H drive. Thanks for the pointer. For those of us who do not do these tasks frequently if at all its nice to have help. I do PLCs and CNCs and Robots etc. Different skillset.

I'm just curious. Let say I do Incremental backup every day, and a Full backup every 7 days.

Will MR merge the 7 incremental backup files to my old Full backup file, or MR will just create a new Full backup file and delete the older incremental files?
