I added a WD Blue 500GB SSD drive to this PC and used Acronis WD Edition to clone to the new drive.įirst issue: Error message mentioned by OP that no WD drive was detected. I have a desktop PC with a WD Blue 1TB HDD drive that came with an Intel Optane cache. I’m not sure if this is the same problem as you or the original poster were having, but here is what I saw, which to me implies there is a conflict between Intel Optane and the Acronis WD Edition clone process: Once I did that, the clone worked out fine, although it seemed to take forever, like 3 hours. It didn’t work for me the first time because I didn’t read the instructions and I didn’t check the Advanced Settings (or something like that) and made sure that “Sector by sector clone” and “Optimize for SSD” boxes were checked. I finally got it working by using the free edition of EaseUS ToDo Backup. A check in Task Manager confirms that no Acronis process is running. The Acronis cloning procedure does not restart. When I do that (3 times so far) It just reboots the computer. The cloning screen starts up and then I get a “You Must Reboot Computer to continue” message. I can now get through the source and destination disk selection process in Acronis. The Acronis software appears to be loading. I have temporarily bypassed this problem by plugging in one of my other WD external USB hard drives. However, when I try to run the Acronis WD Edition software it says “Acronis True Image WD Edition Installation Restricted - This product edition requires at least one Western Digital drive to be installed in your system” The WD SSD Dashboard can see my USB-attached WD SSD Blue 500GB. I am trying to clone my existing 500GB laptop drive to a new WD SSD Blue 500GB using Acronis True Image WD Edition that was downloaded from the WD site.
