| 1487221 | 2022-07-04 04:36:00 | I am trying to clone my System HDD to an external Crucial SSD. I have tried Macrium and AOMEI and both say that the volume is locked Code5. From the internet this seems a problem that can arise and not many answers at least that this old fella can follow. I have used Windows "Manage" to create a partition on the Crucial SSD and it all looks ok. Aomei does attempt to do the clone but right at the end informs that " volume is locked, can't do"! Anyone have any ideas? |

| 1487222 | 2022-07-04 05:20:00 | Can you make an image instead and then install that image to the ssd, Wainui reckons it is a better way to go than cloning | gary67 (56) | ||
| 1487223 | 2022-07-04 06:26:00 | Could be one ( or more) of several things. Could be 1. Bad sectors on the drive 2. System corruptions ( more often than not) 3. Antivirus ( not to often) How are you trying to clone it ?? From a bootable media OR direct from a running system ?? |

| 1487224 | 2022-07-04 06:54:00 | I was trying from a running system. Antivirus is ESET. | Bryan (147) | ||

| 1487226 | 2022-07-04 10:28:00 | I have used an older mechanical drive and that appears to have worked. I am upgrading my old system with a newer Asus Maximus viii Hero board and i7 6700k cpu. I wanted to be able to move my older board to another case that I have and use a copy of its system HDD in it. Fun is about to begin. | Bryan (147) | ||
| 1487227 | 2022-07-04 10:37:00 | Just something you may or may not have thought / known about -- moving your current System to new hardware, mainly motherboard will cause it to deactivate, so it will need to be activated again as your licence key would be linked to the original Motherboard. | wainuitech (129) | ||
| 1487228 | 2022-07-04 10:51:00 | Thanks for that. That is why I want to move the old mb to another case and take its system HDD with it. The new board will have a new setup and I might even get an M.2 card to run it. Didn't want to have to reinstall all my rubbish on a new drive on the new board, just trying to get around it. | Bryan (147) | ||
