#MACRIUM NOT ALL COPIED INSUFFICIENT SPACE INSTALL#
I have a lot of my school work, animations and programming tests saved on the SSD so I'm hoping to install the SSD as a boot first, pull the items off to a WD external then do the clone after changing back to the preinstalled HDD. I'm assuming it's from my lack of knowledge of uninstalling but while attempting to fix it a family member got me the desktop. Recently while trying to remove Ubuntu from an MSATA drive on the computer the SSD is currently installed in, I got a grub error.

I haven't even installed any programs on it yet. Later, reconnect the old drive and wipe as necessary.ĭelete the 450MB Recovery Partition, here: Maybe reboot a time or two, just to make sure. It should boot from the new drive, just like the old drive. Swap the SATA cables around so that the new drive is connected to the same SATA port as the old drive This is to allow the system to try to boot from ONLY the SSD Select ALL the partitions on the existing C driveĭisconnect ALL drives except for the new SSD Run the Macrium Reflect (or Samsung Data Migration) Verify the actual used space on the current drive is significantly below the size of the new SSDĭownload and install Macrium Reflect (or Samsung Data Migration, if a Samsung SSD)ĭisconnect ALL drives except the current C and the new SSD Specific steps for a successful clone operation: If it is below 80GB, you can clone to that 120GB SSD. What is the total size of the data on the current HDD? I OWN A 120GB 2.5" SSD if like to clone the HDD to after removing the items I want to keep but I don't want to screw anything up.Īny suggestions or things I should look for to ensure I don't mess up my new computer?

I recently received an Inspiron 8650 (the i5 8th gen version) and it came with just a 7200rpm HDD.
