Thanks for your feedback, it helps us improve the site. Good luck. In reply to J W Stuart's post on September 26, I tried using the method listed with Win 7's own Backup and Restore feature.
After 2 attempts where it wouldn't boot I put the old hard drive back in and that failed to boot as well. I then restored to the old hard drive which I am certain I hadn't changed in any way and my machine can boot again. Only now Windows says it's not genuine :. I believe it's a problem with the boot partition being on the large drive, which comes from the fact that I originally installed Windows on an older hard drive, moved it to the SSD and now I'm trying to move it again.
Click "Disk Mode" and select the hard drive that you want to copy or clone. Click "Next" to continue. Note: The destination disk should be at least the same big or even larger than the source disk if you want to copy or clone the source hard disk.
Step 3: Click "OK" to confirm if the program asks to erase data on the destination disk. Case 1. Gain a larger space. You could move the boot system partition to a larger drive or smaller one to generate more free space or get a faster speed. Case 2. Deal with boot failure caused by the hard drive error. Just as the following example shows, when the Windows computer or hard drive contains a disk problem or some bad sectors, the Windows system may not be able to boot up and run properly.
You can move the Windows boot partition to a new hard drive without reinstalling the system to solve this case. I know the manual copy and paste does not work in this situation since there are some applications that cannot be pasted and keep bootable afterwards. So i need to clone the whole partition.
However, the Microsoft Operating System does not offer such tools for partition copy. Is there any magic software for me? Partition copy means cloning one partition to another. All content on the original partition will be migrated to the target partition. When the Microsoft does not provide partition clone service. It can satisfy all mentioned needs including copy recovery partition and hidden partitions without losing data. At the same time, it provides two types of duplication which will be introduced below.
Remember, the system reserved partition has to be a primary partition, if your new system reserved partition is a logical drive, then you should first convert it to primary partition without losing data. Once you have completed this, you will have successfully moved the system reserved partition to different drive. If you find that your drive has unallocated space after the conversion, then you can merge the unallocated space with any partition that you want to extend.
When do you need to move system reserved partition? How to move system reserved partition to a different disk? Mark the new partition as "System Reserved". Now restart your computer to see it successfully boots.
