I would first un-format the destination drive in Disk manager. So, the system can read the drive no problem. Note, when I clone, I can access the files fine. Would I be able to just install Windows fresh on this drive (not desirable) or does this Mobo really not support this drive as a boot device? However, I can't find any UEFI setting in this Mobo's Bios.Īre there any workarounds with this or am I stuck? Seagate Disk Wizard gives some additional information about needing to enable UEFI BIOS support on the Mobo. With all 3 cloning tools I have used, they indicate 'The Machine cannot boot from the destination disk after clone.' I have even tried using a Windows Recovery CD per instructions here () to no avail. When I try to boot to the new drive, I have tried both (1) leaving both drives in and modifying the boot sequence to load the new drive 1st and (2) disconnecting the old drive, and plugging the new one into the old drive's SATA port. All of the data looks good, but the disk is not bootable. I have tried cloning multiple times, and none have resulted in a bootable disk. This one has been tested satisfactory using Seagate Tools and HDTune.

One of the Barracudas had to be thrown out. It's been running on my NAS for the past 3 years, and I upgraded that to 2 3TB WD Reds. New HDD is a salvaged Seagate Barracuda ST31000340AS. This was a spare Laptop drive I had lying around when I did the original build.

Current OS HDD is a Toshiba MK2561GSYF 2.5in laptop drive with 98GB of data used. This is a budget gaming system build running AMD Phenom II X4 965, MSI 760GM-P34 Mobo, Windows 7 Home Premium 圆4.Ģ. I have tried EaseUS, Seagate Disk Wizard, and CloneZilla to the same effect.ġ. I am trying to clone a system HDD using several different tools, and I keep getting the message that 'The machine cannot boot from the destination disk after the clone.'
