FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Q: Why do I get the error “Can’t fit data to Target” when cloning between drives of the same size?

A: The drives may be from different manufacturers and the Target actually somewhat smaller than the Master. Also, the Master drive may have some data at the very end of the partition. This would prevent it from scaling down.

We recommend that you use a defragment utility on the Master drive before cloning it to the Target again.

Q: My cloning session stops with the error “Error initializing/writing NTFS data.” Why?

A: This error means that NTFS Clever Clone™ has encountered corrupt data in the boot sector, MFT or Volume Bitmap of the Master drive. The drive may still boot in a PC, however.

Q: My cloning session always stops at a certain point with a “Drive not ready” error message. Why?

A: The Master drive may have too many bad sectors for the unit to skip over. In rare cases, sectors can also be too damaged for the unit to skip over. Please refer to the Scan Target and Repair Target section of Chapter 5: OmniDiagnostics™.

Note that if Verify is set to 1% or 100%, the bad sector(s) may be on the Target drive.

Q: Why does the cloning session stop with an “Invalid MBR” error message?

A: This error comes up when the partition table or boot sector contains corrupt data. Despite the error, the Master drive may still boot in a PC.
