Acronis drive cloning5/26/2023 ![]() ![]() I would suggest terminating the clone operation, if this is possible, else shutdown the computer and disconnect the target drive before attempting to restart Windows. ![]() George, your clone should not be taking as long as you are saying here (15 hours ++), so it doesn't sound like it is proceeding correctly! Many thanks for any help anyone can offer. How long should I wait? If this fails, can I then reboot into Acronis recovery, choose Clone, and start over on the same SSD drive or should I format it first? While just researching this, I found the link here that suggests this be done using the Acronis recovery boot and not from within Windows 10. ![]() ![]() The drive light on the computer (Dell 7050 micro) and the light on the USB connection) are both blinking indicating there's still a transfer in progress (?). It's running from a USB 3 port using a USB 3 SATA to USB cable. There's only about 125GB on the 500GB drive. Message showed 'locking partition (?)' but no message since and no time slider showing progress - nothing shown from the Clone App showing it's running. I assume they're the same? The sequence to clone was the same as shown in their instructions: start the clone app choose automatic choose existing drive choose connected USB SSD click Proceed. I used my existing Acronis Clone utility rather than downloading the one they link to. Hi: I'm using Acronis 2018 to clone an existing 500GB drive to a 500GB SSD from Crucial. ![]()
