    Introduction

    The SK hynix system migration utility is designed to enable SK hynix customers to quickly and
    effectively transfer Windows Operating systems and user data to SK hynix Solid State Disks.
    (SSD).

    • Windows System disks and data disks can be cloned to an SK hynix SSD while Windows
    is running using Microsoft Volume Shadow copy Service (VSS) to ensure ‘point-in-time’ data
    accuracy. ㆍ

    • Partitions are automatically resized to fill the cloned disk and are also aligned for optimum
    SSD performance and reliability. ㆍ

    • Cloned bootable disks are automatically updated to reflect the new disk layout and the Boot
    Configuration Data (BCD) is modified to reference the new cloned disk.

    Configuration

    The configuration window enables you to select the source and target disks for your clone
    operation. By default, your operating system disk will be selected as the source disk and the
    target disk will be your attached SK hynix SSD.

    Note : System partitions required to boot Windows, including Local Disk C,


    will be automatically selected and cannot be de­-selected.

    Partitions will be automatically shrunk or expanded to fill the destination disk. Please note that
    certain reserved system partitions will not be resized. These hidden partitions serve the same
    purpose regardless of the size of the disk and do not need to be either expanded or shrunk.
    Data partitions and Local Disk C: will be proportionally resized according to the free space
    available on their respective file systems.

    Click 'Next' to continue...

    Clone Summary

    The clone summary page visually indicates the source and target disk partition layouts resulting
    from the clone operation. To change the source disk or partition selections click ‘Previous’.

    Note : The entire target disk will be overwritten. Any data that is currently on the disk
    will be irrecoverably lost. If your target disk is not empty, then ensure that any data it
    contains is backed up prior to starting the clone operation.

    Once you are satisfied that the disk and partition selections are correct, click ‘Start’ to begin
    cloning.

    Click 'Start' to begin cloning...

    Processing

    During the clone operation a detailed log will be created in the output window below the
    progress bars. In the event of an error the last few lines in the log will indicate the cause. Select
    ‘Show log’ to view the detailed log.

    On clone completion the window will automatically advance to the next and final page.

    Result

    After a successful clone, the system will be transferred to the cloned disk and Windows will now
    be configured to boot from the clone. Simply replace your source disk with your cloned disk by
    connecting it to the same SATA port on your PC’s motherboard.

    In the event of a failure the two log buttons ‘View log’ and ‘View VSS log’ will provide detailed
    troubleshooting information. The last few lines of the log files will contain error codes to help
    track down the cause of the problem.

    Troubleshooting

    No SK hynix disk attached

    The message box below is shown when the application starts:

    Verify that you have an SK hynix SSD attached to a SATA port or connected using a USB
    to SATA cable or enclosure. Note that not all USB to SATA converters support identification
    of the disk attached. When using a USB to SATA converter and the message above appears,
    change to converter that supports disk detection.

    Unable to dismount the target disk

    The clone fails and you receive the following error on the results page:

    The target disk cannot be locked and overwritten. You will receive this error if you attempt
    to overwrite your live Windows system disk or any other disk that is currently locked by
    another application. Please ensure that the clone target disk is not in use by Windows.

    Windows will not boot the cloned drive.


    Verify that the cloned drive is attached to the same SATA port as the original source
    disk and leave the original source disk disconnected until the cloned disk successfully
    boots. If problems continue, then it may be necessary to run the Windows
    Startup Repair utility provided with your Windows installation DVD.

    Read failure on the source disk


    Run the Microsoft utility 'chkdsk' on the source drive and try the clone again after
    completion:

    • Click 'Start' > 'All Programs' > 'Accessories' then click 'Command Prompt'.
    Note: In Windows Vista/7/8, the command prompt must be started with elevated
    privileges.
    • Type 'chkdsk c:/r/f' and press enter.
    • When the message 'Would you like to schedule this volume to be checked the
    next time your system restarts?' is displayed, click 'Y' then enter.
    • Reboot your PC.

    The file system will be analyzed for problems, which may take a few minutes to complete

    Volume Shadow copy Service (VSS) error


    Make sure that the following Windows services are not disabled on your system:

    Volume Shadow Copy
    Microsoft Software Shadow Copy Provider

    Make a note of the error number and search for a possible solution on the Internet. There
    are many possible VSS error codes and it is very likely that solutions have been posted to
    assist with your particular problem.

    A small utility that can be downloaded from here is available to automatically fix common
    VSS problems:
