The good thing is I device a technique to recognize which is which (source and destination drive)
BEFORE CLONING*
delete the partition of the defective/corrupted drive since you are to clone it anyway, that way you will never be mistaken of choosing which is the source drive since acronis won't allow an empty drive to be the source (clever ha!).
or be very careful of the size of each disk, reformat if you need to to see the difference between a same capacity disk by noting its free space
here is funny experience last week..
problem - PC (as in personal computer) 5 freezes on occasions
diagnose - software related; could be virus infection (someone inserted his thumb drive without scanning it first for malwares/viruses ..arggh
solution - hdd cloning (acronis).. we have 4 identical units..makes sense; fastest and most convenient
outcome - we have now 2 erratic unit! deym..hehe
*baligtad kabayan! - somehow i've mis configured the hdd setting (messing up the source and destination drive big time)..but hey, i checked everything... sata need no jumpers settings.. i booted PC3 properly and installed acronis home edition thier..so i thought i have the correct primary (source) drive..
*take 2 - still has 2 units working properly..haha
* this time i opted for manual configuration (on acronis's drive settings) did not change anything just tick the manual (instead of its automatic - which i have opted last)
walla! - finally :)
