Here is a bit of a puzzle. I got a USB 2 x SATA disk dock for Christmas. It works fine and the other day I got round to cloning my Windows 10 system disk (using Clonezilla). It worked fine and when the system rebooted it would not online the cloned disk as, understandably, it had the same signature as the boot disk. Great - Looks like I am on a winner. However...

When I disconcected the existing system disk and tried to boot from the clone, it went through the motions but then, when it got to the stage it usualy boots to Win10, it just hung. I tried it both connected via USB and direct to SATA. The bios sees the disk and recognises it is a boot disk but it just don't boot :-(

Now, here is the interesting thing. I have a mini HP desktop elsewhere so I tried the clone disk, connected via the USB dock, on that. Guess what - It booted and ran fine! WTF!?!?!

I should mentiomn that the source disk is an SSD while the target clone is an old HD. Is that something to do with it? If I do want to clone the system disk, and I don't really need to as I have other back ups, should I buy a new SSD? Is it worth it anyway?
