USB Code 10 error on Macrium cloned SSD EVO 840 to EVO 850
I'm an admitted newbie to Macrium Reflect free cloning SSD to SSD, but have had good luck doing cloning for a trial upgrade of W10.
However, I have developed a peculiar (it seems) problem with USB not being functional on the cloned SSD. Systems is a i5 4670k, MB: GA-X87X-UD3H running EVO SSD for Win7 OS and two HD for data.
Boot OS SSD Config, all GPT:
A) Original boot SSD is EVO 840 120 GB
B) 2nd SSD is EVO 840 120 GB (redundant)
C) 3rd SSD is new EVO 850 250 GB
Note: I am not using "C" as in "C:\".
1. Cloned A to B, shutdown, removed A data cable, booted W7 and did W10 upgrade. Disconnected A data cable and booted on B and all is good. No problem here. Note: cloning from EVO 120 to EVO 120; otherwise it appears as if I'd doing the clone correctly.
2. Problem case. cloned A (EVO 840 120GB) Win7 to C (EVO 850 250 GB), max OS partition except for ~23 GB free partition) Win7. Boot with both A and B data cables and able to use F12 to boot on either SSD and have expected normal USB use. Then, I disconnected the A data cable and the OS boots on C but USB throws Code 10 error; Win7 sounds a new-device-connected tone when I insert a USB stick, but Explorer etc. does not see the USB as mounted. Did a previous clone but set the OS partition to maximum (no 23 GB free partition), and that is when I first noticed the USB issue. If I reconnect the A data cable, the USB functions normally.
Other than a somehow corrupted clone (Macrium showed clone was good) am I missing something? Clip from MiniTool Partition attached -- maybe this is next on list of options-- but I would like to know what I am doing wrong overall or specifically with Macrium. Perplexed that the connecting A enables USB.
