"Using Macrium Reflect 8, is it as simple as using the cloning operation from the MBR to the GPT drive? Are there other steps to do for completion?" I came across a thread which sounds promising, but I want to run it by you all first. Why it can't do this for me, I will never understand. I then will use my new drive as a guiney pig and convert it to GPT and see how it appears in bios.Īpparently disk genius said that they can convert to gpt but when I try I get an error message about how it needs more sectors at the head and tail end. Currently I am using Disk Genius to disk clone (again) my old nvme to my new one. Disk Genius said that all 3 of my drives were MBR, which is BIOS, not UEFI. Ok so I didn't know the differences of MBR and GPT still applied to me, but its been a while since I had to deal with harddrives. I'll fly the jolly roger flag before I pay for this basic task. wtf assholesĪnyone got freeware suggestions? All I want is clone disk and create a bootable drive. So i dl it and try it out, nope, it takes me to the Activate Now page. They have this fucking website that shows how easy it is to clone a bootable disk. Per the website "The Free Standard Edition only supports cloning a data disk."Įdit 3: jesus fucking christ easeUS sucks a dick too. It keeps sending me to the free/pro comparison page with no way to continue the process. It specifically says disk clones are allowed under the free version, yet when I try it, it refuses. If both programs (disk genius and aomei) fail, I know something else is upĮdit 2: aomei fucking sucks. Since its getting late and I don't feel like dealing with my pc internals, I'm try a disc clone with aomei and see what happens there. It's turning CSM off completely that removes all boot options. If I select Legacy for storage, my current 512gb drive boots up just fine. If I select Legacy, nothing comes up.Įdit: So I just went back into bios. How can this be? In Bios, I have storage set to UEFI. I did msinfo32.exe and I see that the Windows drive is C: (so more proof that I'm on my original drive) but the BIOS Mode is Legacy. Without CSM on (and storage set to UEFI), bios won't show any drives as bootableįascinating. Mobo is Asus tuf gaming 圆70e plus wifi, v8090 biosĮdit: I also have fast boot on, secure boot off, and CSM on. I go into the Advanced Mode view, go into Boot tab, and again, I only see one boot option (512gb drive).ĭid I not do something right? Was I led astray by DiskGenius claims? Can a disk clone of an OS drive be bootable? I restart and go into bios, thinking that I would have 2 drives available to boot from. I opened up both side by side, they appear to have all the same files. When I come back, I see that the SD850x is a perfect clone of the 512gb. I go into DiskGenius and select Clone Disc, and I ignore the prompt that comes up that says OS Migration will be better. Specifically that a disk clone of an OS drive will still be bootable. I read around and DiskGenius said I could use their software to do this. I then will format the 512gb and use it for game storage until pci5 drives are out. I want to clone/os migrate everything that is on my smaller, older 512gb drive to the new SD850x bc its bigger and faster. I have 2 nvme drives, one is the original 512gb that my OS Windows 10 is on.
