How to Clone or Copy Bootcamp using Acronis True Image HD - Duration: 14:48. Crucial: Computer Memory, Storage, and Tech Advice 32,569 views. Occasionally systems won’t reboot into the Acronis boot-loader. This will result in the system rebooting, but not going into the Acronis program to finish the clone. To get around this issue, a bootable copy of Acronis is required. Luckily, creating bootable media with Acronis True Image for Crucial® is quick and easy.

Hi there,

I purchased a new crucial 1T M.2 SSD, and followed their link to download the latest version of 'Acronis True Image for Crucial'. The brand new SSD is connected to the laptop via USB 3.1 in an enclosure. The existing SSD (128GB not from Crucial) is the Windows C: and still installed in the laptop.

My aim is to clone the 128GB drive to the new 1T drive, and then physically swap the two drives.

When True Image is launched, it takes a few seconds and then a small dialog displays: 'This product edition requires at least one Crucial SSD be installed in your system [...]'. The Continue button is disabled, and only a Cancel button remains.

System details:

• Laptop: HP OMEN 17IN W006TX I7-6700HQ
• Crucial SSD: Crucial P1 CT1000P1SSD8 SSD, 1TB, M.2 2280, PCIe 3.0 x4, 3D NAND
• Enclosure: Digitus F25490 NVMe PCIE USB3.1 HDD Enclosure M.2
• True Image: Acronis True Image for Crucial (version unknown). Downloaded today 23 April 2020 from

Once I received that error, I followed the instructions provided by Crucial to first manually initialise the SSD for windows. It's now drive G: and has 930GB free (there are two other partitions also, that came already on it?).

Windows recognises drive G:, but launching Acronis True Image still results in the same error message. I restarted windows and tried to launch True Image again, but the same result.

Any help much appreciated.

Cheers,
Peter

Peter, welcome to these public User Forums.

See KB 2201: Support for OEM Versions of Acronis Products which applies to your OEM version of ATI from Crucial.

The core issue here is that the Crucial product does not recognise your new SSD when it is not installed internally in your laptop (which is actually good news here!).

If you had been able to clone from the internal drive to the new SSD, then there is a good chance that the new SSD would not have booted correctly because this is not the recommended method being used!

Please see KB 56634: Acronis True Image: how to clone a disk - and review the step by step guide given there.

Note: the first section of the above KB document directs laptop users to KB 2931: How to clone a laptop hard drive - and has the following paragraph:

It is recommended to put the new drive in the laptop first, and connect the old drive via USB. Otherwise you will may not be able to boot from the new cloned drive, as Acronis True Image will apply a bootability fix to the new disk and adjust the boot settings of the target drive to boot from USB. If the new disk is inside the laptop, the boot settings will be automatically adjusted to boot from internal disk. As such, hard disk bays cannot be used for target disks. For example, if you have a target hard disk (i.e. the new disk to which you clone, and from which you intend to boot the machine) in a bay, and not physically inside the laptop, the target hard disk will be unbootable after the cloning.

See KB 63226: Acronis True Image 2020: how to create bootable media which is required to follow the above instructions.

KB 59877: Acronis True Image: how to distinguish between UEFI and Legacy BIOS boot modes of Acronis Bootable Media which is important to ensure success.

Note: Please make a full Disk backup of your working 128GB SSD to a backup drive <<BEFORE>> you attempt any further actions. This is your safety net!

I recently upgraded my own HP Omen laptop from a 128GB Liteon NVMe M.2 SSD (supplied by HP with the laptop) to a Samsung EVO 970 Pro 500GB NVMe M.2 SSD by making a full backup of the 128GB drive, then restoring this to the new 500GB SSD after swapping the drive and booting from the rescue media (with no need for any external adapters).

Thank you, Steve, for this very detailed and thorough information!

I'm reading through it now, and will attempt this shortly.

Steve,

I have the exact same problem as the original poster, however your suggestion that having the SSD already installed in the laptop would allow Acronis to recognize it .. NOPE.. I went ahead and tried that when I like the original poster could not get Acronis to recognize my drive. I installed the Crucial SSD into my laptop - installed the laptops original SSD into an enclosure - booted up my laptop from the original drive through the USB port.. and guess what Acronis STILL says I need to have a creative product to run it. Windows recognizes the 2T SSD just fine .. it is only Acronis that does not. So I go to this website for support which says 'click here to make bootable media' click the link it tries to start acronis... which then halts with the error message that a crucial product is not detected. so Im stuck in an eternal loop from hell with every support link crashing my laptop or hitting 404 not found errors.

Scott, sorry but 'booted up my laptop from the original drive through the USB port' is the issue here. You should create the Acronis rescue media and boot using that with the new SSD installed internally and the original one as an external drive.

I tried to do that -- however I cannot start the Acronis for Crucial at all until it recognizes my new SSD as a Crucial product. So I downloaded the Acronis 2021 trial version, and it would NOT let me create bootable media to do a drive clone in the trial mode. What I ended up having to do was create a backup image of my original M2 drive to an external 5T drive -- then I swapped in the crucial drive -- rebooted the laptop with the bootable USB stick I made with the other software, then restore the old drives image to the new. Then of course I had to re-partition the drive as my original drive only had 512GB and the new crucial drive is 2T.. In the end it worked .. but they definitely need to come up with a better 'OEM solution' or way to get it to work, I dunno maybe just make it a very short trial version that lets you use the cloning for 48hrs or something from the time you register it... lol . My laptop being a 'slim' model even prevented me from using a spare SATA HDD to try and back up -- turns out anything larger than a 2T drive will not fit in my HDD bay lol, found out anything thicker than 8mm and my door will not close. In the end I was successful, but it took a lot of effort.. I also noticed my laptop was VERY picky about the bootable media.. sometimes it would work, sometimes I would have to re-boot multiple times before it would acknowledge the USB stick was even there. Very frustrating indeed. But I shouldn't have to tinker again now as I have the M2 2T SSD as my primary and installed a 2T SATA 2.5 HDD in the other bay. Plenty of room to work with now.
