Can you make an image with Macrium ?

i used macrium to make an image and then used the windows pe on usb to try and put it on the ssd.

but i got image is corrupt error 5 message.

went back and tried to veryify the image but that failed, will try to do another image.

You are trying to Clone and you run into problems of the two drives having different Sectors. If you image your old drive to another partition and then restore the image to the SSD, it should work fine. In other words, Image not Clone.

na the problem was with macrium, cloned with EASEUS Todo Backup Professional 2.5 and it worked the first time.
