anyone any thoughts? it is frustrating i spent 50 bucks for this software and the error message it gives is useless.

 

Steps I have followed: (I have windows 7 machine)

  • connect ssd to my laptop thru usb; made sure it is online.
  • copy the system drive first (so i can copy partitions later)
  •  under “Advanced Options,” selected the following:
  •               Checked Set the drive active (for booting OS)
  •              Checked Copy MBR
  •               Selected Primary Partition under “Destination partition type”
  •                For “Drive Letter,” select <none> since it is system partition
