Why You Need Inland SSD Clone Software?
Issues with cloning boot drive
"I recently purchased an Inland Premium 1TB SSD (3D NAND M.2 2280 PCIe NVMe 3.0 x4). I cloned my boot drive (C:) to it using Macrium Reflect, but when I attempt to boot off of it, I'm unsuccessful.
I noticed that one of my other drives (A:) contains Windows system files. So I tried testing the boot capability of each of my drives, and to my surprise, it looks like my system can't boot without including my A: drive in the boot priority list in BIOS. It doesn't appear to matter which order, but without it, my system won't boot. Is it possible to clone both my current C: and A: drive to my new NVMe drive, and if so, would that fix my problem?"

Tips:
◑ Sector by Sector Clone: it allows you to clone all sectors of a hard drive including bad sectors and empty sectors.
◑ Edit Partitions: you can adjust partition size of destination disk with this feature to fix the problem that cloned hard drive show wrong size when you clone disk to larger disk.
❔ The Sector by Sector Clone and Edit Partitions cannot be used together. And it's suggested to use the latter if you are in the following two situations.
#1: The cloned drive not show full capacity.
By default, all the cloning software makes an exact copy of the source disk, as a result, the clone drive does not show full capacity after cloning. If the target disk is larger, please try the following 3 options in the Edit Partitions. And the last two options are available on the Professional version.
- Copy without resizing partitions: It will not resize the partition size.
- Add unused space to all partitions: It will reallocate the unallocated space to each partition of the target disk, appropriate for the disk size.
- Manually adjust partition size: It allows you to extend unallocated space to any partition on the destination disk you want.
#2: The cloned drive not bootable after cloning.
One of the biggest reason is the destination and source disk has different partition style and you don't convert them to the same before cloning. In this situation, you can simply check Convert the destination disk from MBR to GPT or vice versa, depending on the disk partition styles of them.
Step 6. After cloning is complete, set the cloned SSD as the first boot priority in the BIOS to boot from it.
