Or, would it be best (or the only way) to boot from a USB drive created in Cyber Protect and restore the old system disk from the hard drive containing my backup? I suppose removing the old system disk SSD before would be ideal to avoid conflicts, confusion and so there wouldn't be two bootable system disks installed at the same time?

Obviously I would need this to be bootable once the restoration from the backup onto the hard disk is complete.Ĭan I do a Windows 10 install onto the new SSD and recover from a backup while booted from that fresh Windows install? If possible, would that be a bad idea? Restoring onto a booted and running C: drive? Or is Cyber Protect smart and fancy enough to get that right? I have a new 1.9GB U.2/NVMe SSD I want to make my new system disk with a copy of my current system disk and Windows install. I have a 3TB SATA traditional spinning hard disk I hope to back up to and restore from.

I have a 2018ish Dell 5820 workstation PC with an old 120GB Crucial SATA SSD as a system disk with a 111GB C: partition, 100MB boot partition, 509MB Recovery Partition.

Very unfortunate the cloning software can't translate that. I want to migrate my Window 10 system disk from an old SATA SSD with 512 sector size to a new U.2/NVMe SSD that unfortunately has the newer style 4096 byte sector size so it won't let me clone the disk.

But in Win10 v1607, the size of MSR is 16MB.I'm sorry, I'm sure eventually, with enough time, high blood pressure and trial and error I could figure this out, but it might take a few evenings and maybe some kind soul who's very experienced with True Image/Cyber Protect can help save me a lot time and trouble. Windows 10 v1507 creates 128 MB MSR if I remember correctly. I am sure if you clean your HDD/SSD first (but don't manually format it yet), then boot your Windows installer UFD, select the unformatted HDD/SSD as installation target drive let Windows installer automatically partition the disk the partition layout will be the same size and order as I show in post #51.īTW, the size of the Recovery, EFI and MSR partitions do vary depending on the version of Windows you install. This way, the Recovery, EFI and C: partitions could only be created after the existing MSR. I guess what happened was, you formatted your disk as data GPT disk first (Windows will create a 128MB MSR partition on data disk at the beginning of the disk upon formatting), then installed Windows on this formatted disk with existing partitions.

That is, as long as you install Windows 10 v1607 on an empty disk (not formatted, so no existing partitions on it).Īlso note, that you have the 128MB MSR partition located up front before the Recovery partition, which is in different order from all my Windows installations. the sizes of the first 3 partitions (Recovery, EFI, MSR) are all the same. I installed 6 PCs, with very different hardware setups (CPU, RAM, size of hard disk from 120GB SSD, to 240GB SSD to 500GB HDD), including both desktop and laptop.

Click to expand.I am afraid it's not really related to the size of the HDD.
