Cloning and Macrium PE?
Cloning doesn't seem to work from inside Windows if your VSS service is broken/corrupted.
Does anyone know if the Macrium PE disk can bypass that issue?
My friend's laptop has power problems and his SSD has become corrupted as a result.
Various functions don't work on his machine (SFC can't fix it).
Strangely enough, almost everything works on his install, except for a few Windows tools and Adobe CS5.
We couldn't clone his install to the new SSD, using:
- The Samsung tool
- Macrium Reflect (inside W7)
- The "dd" command in Linux (from a Live DVD)
We tried re-registering the VSS components (as per the Macrium site's instructions regarding the error message we received).
We wasted so much time the other day.
I probably could have reinstalled W7 SP1, updated it and installed a few programs in that time.
