7.5.1 Preparing for migration

Solid state disks have become quite common. Many users decide to replace their system hard disk

with an SSD to enhance the disk system performance.

Such a replacement may raise a number of questions. Because SSDs are still somewhat expensive,

the size of your new SSD will usually be less than that of your old hard disk. This may cause a problem

if your hard disk contains the operating system, programs and data.

Another question concerns the alignment of SSDs. To get the optimum performance from an SSD and

to prolong its life, the partition offset must meet certain criteria. For more information see SSD

support (p. 14).

We presuppose that before purchasing the SSD you estimated the approximate space occupied by

your operating system and applications and that you selected an SSD that has a reasonable reserve

capacity.

First of all, make sure that True Image 2013 detects your new SSD both in Windows and under the

Acronis rescue media. If there is a problem, see What to do if True Image 2013 does nor recognize

your SSD (p. 147).

Let's consider two cases:

1. Your new SSD is big enough to accommodate your old system disk without additional

preparations.

2. The occupied space on your old hard disk exceeds the size of your SSD.

In the first case, different options for migrating your system may be available. If your system disk

consists of a single partition (not counting the hidden System Reserved partition existing in many

installations of Windows 7), you can try to migrate to the SSD using the Clone tool. For more

information see Cloning a hard disk (p. 188).

However, we recommend to use the backup and recovery method in most cases. This method

provides more flexibility and control over migration. See Migrating to an SSD using the backup and

recovery method (p. 150).

In the second case, you will need to free up space on the system disk to make migration possible. See

What to do if your SSD does not have enough space for all HDD content (p. 151).

7.5.2 What to do if True Image 2013 does not recognize your SSD

Sometimes True Image 2013 may not recognize an SSD.

In such a case, check whether the SSD is recognized in BIOS.

If the BIOS of your computer does not show the SSD, verify that the power and data cables are

properly connected. You may also try to update the BIOS and SATA drivers. If these suggestions do

not help, contact the Support of your SSD manufacturer.

If the BIOS of your computer does show the SSD, you can try the following procedure:

For Windows Vista/Windows 7 type cmd in the Search field and press Enter.

For Windows XP, type cmd in the Run field and press Enter.

At the command line prompt type:

1 2 ... 142 143 144 145 146 147 148 149 150 151 152 ... 240 241
