I built another PC today and decided to clone the OS from the SSD to a 750 GIG spinner HD
Installed Macrium and absolutely would not clone. Gave me a 0X8004231F error every time.
I eventually unticked the 100MB reserved partition check mark and clone worked perfect.
Then rebooted F11 selected to boot off cloned copy and booted straight up fine.
Although the System reserved partition was unchecked it cloned straight across.
Strange or what?:crazy:
Maybe this could help someone with like issues. Computers are strange creatures.:)
 
Yes Tony, I double checked that all partitions had drive letters.
I didn't force a drive letter, just let Windows assign one.

Yes Macrium Reflect did back up the MSR although unchecked otherwise I would have got a boot error.
Looked at the clone and the system reserved partition is showing.

A long time ago I got caught when a partition was missing a drive letter.
Disk management then would recognize the drive, Acronis Disk Director also recognized the drive
but when you clicked Start > Computer the drive wasn't showing.
Took me a while to realize the drive had no drive letter.

Thanks for your input, appreciated.:)
 
Never had the drive letter issue in previous versions and I have cloned countless times.
Must be something new in this version. Should have read the knowledge base I admit.
