Hi,
I've been having issues while using restoring harddrives to solid state drives with SSR 2010 as well as 2011. I am using a brand new 120GB Intel SSD. My process begins with resizing the HDD partition to 100GBs. I then created an image of the C: drive as well as System Reserver (per software's reccomendation). I then booted into the SSR 2010 boot disk and choose to restore. Since it is a new SSD i allowed symantec to write the file system.
My settings for the restore were as follows.
System Reserve: Set to restore original disk signature and restore master boot record. Restore to Disk1. (Software showed this would take 100MB)
The C: drive: Set drive to active for booting os, restore original disk signature, restore master boot record. Restore to Disk1 (Software showed this would take remainder of disk space)
Since i was restoring to a differnt drive I also checked the restore anywhere option.
After the restore i rebooted the PC and recieved MBR missing error. I booted into Hiren PC and booted into a virutal XP environment to do some troubleshooting. I was able to view the content of the drive and saw that all the Windows and User files seemed to be there. I also used a tool to check the MBR and it showed that it was okay but I was unable to successfully boot the drive.
This issue has happened to me multiple times when restoring a HDD to an SSD. At this point I am nervous to tell customers we can upgrade them to SSDs and move over all their content because of all the issues I've had, If anyone has any information on this it would be greatly appreicaiated.
