Acronis Clone Disk Failed

I am running windows 7 64 bit, on an eMachines lap top, I have purchased an external HDD and now I am trying to create a perfect copy of my system. I used DriveImage XML but it failed. I have used this program in the past with great success on a different computer running WindowsXP.
The failure I get is 'failed to lock drive'. I've tried skipping the lock drive option and going straight to shadow copy; same problem.Acronis clone disk operation failed ssd
I can only assume the failure to lock drive is based on permissions and files being in use. So I think I need to attempt this without loading windows. Is there anyway of running a 'free' drive cloning program from a DVD or USB Flash drive without booting into Windows?
I would just bit torrent a win7 OS, install it on my external, and run the program from their, but I don't want to have to resort to law breaking, and I have never run linux.

I was trying to clone my SSD to an old hard drive I had laying around (I need to send the SSD back). However, it keeps saying clone disk failed. In the logs it says block bitmap corrupted. Anyone know what this means? Need help cloning a hard disk - posted in Windows 7: I am running windows 7 64 bit, on an eMachines. The failure I get is 'failed to lock drive'. When you use Acronis True Image WD edition to clone disk, you will find. Backupper can help you clone disk easily and quickly, even cloning a failing disk.


Or if anyone happens to know how I can get around the drive lock issue.
Also I tried using a 'backup' feature on Paragon Partition Manager, it did 'backup' the system, but it didn't clone the drive. All the backup files are written in directories such as 'C:/archive/' and thus I assume there is no way of booting into a system written that way. I assume it's like windows system restore, and what I need is a bootable image of my primary drive.
Oh and I should clarify, that it's not my external drive that fails to lock; the external HDD has been formatted, partitioned, and can read and write data just fine, and has way more than enough room to copy the HDD in my lap top.
Also, the HDD on my lap top has 1 primary partition, with two logical partitions. I have no idea what the logical partitions are for and if that could be causing the problem.

Acronis Clone Disk Failed To Read Sector

I have a Windows 7 machine with several partitions on a 1.5T drive. Windows has been complaining about disk errors and imminent failure, so I have purchased a new 2TB drive.

The failing disk has not completely failed, and, in fact, I was able to boot Windows from it (after a couple tries) and examine the SMART logs - the only RED item was 1 sector being reallocated. But when I try to Clone it to the new Drive using Acronis True Image Home (2010), True Image can see the drive, the partitions, and the contents, but when it goes to actually do the clone, it says 'Failed to move. Make sure the destination disk is not smaller than the source disk, and that there are not errors on the disk' (or something like that).

What are some other options for simply cloning the failing drive. I'd like to clone the entire disk, but am willing to do it partition by partition if necessary. Was this a known failing of the 2010 edition of ATI, or is it really something hosed in my system. Would upgrading to the 2012 edition be likely to work any better? (I'd download the trial and try it out, but if I remember right, the cloning operation is disabled in the trial version), and I don't have enough free disk space to make an entire image.)

What are some other cloning software packages if ATI won't work? Note that I'm only looking to clone the disk, not make an image as a back up - I use Ghost for that, and can fall back to that if I have to. It looks to me like CloneZilla would do the job. Any recommendations?

Acronis Failed To Lock The Disk

give clonezilla a try. I've used it many times personally and on the job and have never had a problem with it. It is linux based and is just a live cd with easy to use, step-by-step instructions

You can use Mini Tool Partition Wizard Home Edition. All features listed there with instructions. to perform the copy partition. It has also the feature to copy disk which give you the power to copy whole disk.
