free hard drive cloning software for vista

I kind of wanted to use my ssd instead of my regular HD for the speed.I could have just simply freshly installed the operating system on the ssd and save(d) alot of time but that's not really the point considering i want to be doing this every now and then. The system clone option also didn't work for me It keeps missing a partition regardless if i choose to clone or back up and restore image.Īlso the system clone option didn't need a full paid version, i was able to unlock it by posting their software via social media and providing a link to said post. I get a blue screen saying to insert a cd or recovery media to restore my OS. I opted to clone as opposed to back up an image and restoring because to me it seemed less time consuming.Įven when i backed up an image and restored it to the SSD i still get the error same as when cloning. Windows 8 seems like more trouble than what is worth At that point i plugged in the 2nd hard drive and it appears to be cloning as i am writing this message now. So what i did was unplug my 2nd hard drive which was going to be the ''back up'' one, restarted my computer and then Easeus started from the bootable cd. To my dismay it would once again do the same thing over even though i was now using a bootable cd. Since this wasn't working i just made a bootable cd and tried again.

I didn't feel like making a bootable cd so i was just putting the bootable file on the hard drive. So i wasn't even able to launch Easeus from within the bios all the computer would do is go straight into a black screen with a underscore blinking white line ( it would stay like this forever).Įven after i disabled all drives except for the one that had the bootable Easeus file program it would still do the same thing.

After cloning is succesful it seems to delete said file from hard drive or at least that's what it did when i did it on my laptop. I dont even have a cloned drive yet, this is what i was trying to do but it wouldnt let me.īy bootable file i meant the one that Easeus creates on the hard drive that will be the ''receiver''.
