Blackhat, Interesting.
Do you take your PC apart ie Take out the hard drive to do this?
What is the make/model/name of the docking station?

krypteller, Hi, make sure your computer allows you to install disk clone software. Then completely uninstall the old version, and then restart the computer and reinstall it.

DoYourData,
a) how do I make sure my computer allows me to install YOUR disk clone software, when I had no problem with FlashBoot?
b) This is the first time I installed your software, so there is no old version to remove .

Paul Henderson, Hi, make sure your computer allows you to install disk clone software. Then completely uninstall the old version, and then restart the computer and reinstall it.

EDDIE, Wasn't ghost a great application, way ahead of its time, it was superb for ghosting machines easily. They don't make them like they used too.

EDDIE, so sorry that it does not have portable version.

Bialy, Just try again, make sure your network is connected and not support VPN network.

Bialy, Maybe you have to use FreeVPN. some countries like India don't allow activation hops.

Alexander Priest, Hi, make sure your computer allows you to install disk clone software. Then completely uninstall the old version, and then restart the computer and reinstall it.

Bernd, It is possible (I've not checked as I only installed this under Vista laptop not my 20H2 laptop) That the programs installer may not have attained the permission to access protected locations under the Windows 10 specific ransomware protections. You'd need to go via settings to Update & Security to Windows Security to Virus and Threat Protection to Manage Ransomware Protection then to Allow an App through controlled folder access and Click on "+ Add an allowed app" and select "Recently blocked app" and see if this had been block in the recent past. If it had then clcik the "+" beside it's entry... and while your there check to see if any other known good programs have been blocked as well and may need to be allowed access to work properly. Of course I could be wrong but the above will be useful at some point if you frequently install programs from sites like these on latter feature update builds of windows 10.

TK, Even went as far as running as Administrator....nope, can't find the drive.

TK, I don't have the "Manage Ransomware Protection" option...

Bernd, runing as an adminstrator is the default mode of execution of this and this type of program it's the only way it has a possibility of accessing the drives directly in order to clone them and create partitions etc, much the same as recovery drives also request admin rights.

Another possibility could be if you never "unblocked" the download and just opened/extracted the "blocked" download that you had to aprove against windows defenders advice in order to install it in the first place, windows may have put restrictions in place to try and sandbox the potentially risky downloaded program... (that is just speculation based upon what I would do as a developer if I were microsoft)

I have 2.6 running ok under Vista from a previous giveaway somewhere... never installed it under Win10 as no need to clone the relatively new drives it has.
Just for you I installed 2.6 from the other giveaway on 5 Jan 2021 on my 20H2 Win10 laptop with GPT drives in it and it found all the physical drives and logical partitions including the unknown partition types.

Appart from the fact the installer is unsigned which did not cause a problem here and I got no trouble from the built in ransomware protection as speculated might have been a cause of problems... it's a mystery as to why it fails for some people and not for others, far more information would be needed to diagnose it properly like drive infrastructure type weither SATA based or NVME or emulated SCSI based subsystems, MBR or GPT partition schemes... any 3rd party security software that might interfere... and the list of things that could go wrong goes on... and on.

Bernd, it is also quite possible if your SSD is a NVME SSD that this program is unable to see certain NVME devices... some drive tools like this are only able to talk via SATA and PATA API and are completely unaware of NVME access mechanisms.

Bertil, Hi, make sure your computer allows you to install disk clone software. Then completely uninstall the old version, and then restart the computer and reinstall it.

DoYourData, are you saying that I have to reinstall the Windows OS, so I can install some program?!

DoYourData, can you clarify what "then reinstall your computer" refers to?

DoYourData, reinstalling your whole computer then re-install your software, so it will detect drives/partitions?!?!

That kinda defeats the whole purpose. I'll stick to using HDClone and PartitionGuru. Those do it right the first time around.

DoYourData,

you said "then reinstall your computer and reinstall it". I would say no. I do not reinstall my computer just to install this software.

DoYourData, I think I've found a potentially devastating bug with 2.6 IF you launch the program normally and DO NOT select a source drive partition and go to select the destination drive FIRST it rightly displays ! Please select a source partition or disk first in red under the button which IS correct. BUT it also activates the previously deactivated NEXT button which it should not. If the end user then presses the now active NEXT button a destructive set of options on the system drive is offered where it suggests it will remove all the partitions of the system drive. The bug is the on click method always activates the NEXT button even when it is an invalid option and the red error notice is displayed.
TK

NOTE I have not tried to apply the potentially destructive operation as for some inexplicable reason I prefer not to risk destroying my system debugging your program for you ;-) I prefer to do non-destructive debugging.

DoYourData, I assume you meant to type "then RESTART your computer and reinstall it".

Pazlamiaga, No. No need to reinstall Windows. If the application has failed, it's the application, not your Windows installation.

Brendon Bunker, An addition to my previous comment, when you open the programme it shows a message "failed to open disc". Why is this?

Brendon Bunker, did you click on the square under source? All drives appear after clicking. It's working for me windows 10 64 bits.

detenova, Yes, still the same.

i have the same problem. Just give me - Failed to open partition or disc. to bad... i will uninstall this, obviously not such perfect program

Bojan, Glad I'm not the only one!
