Firecuda clone will not boot
I have a Late 2015, 21.5” iMac, EMC 2833. I bought a 2.5” SATA 6Gb/s 2TB Seagate FireCuda SSHD and now have problems installing it.
I cloned my Hard Drive on the iMac to the new FireCuda using Acronis. I have tried to boot up twice, performing two different cloning operations and it will not boot up.
The cloning operation states “cloning was successful.” I placed the drive inside the iMac, replacing the old HD, it did not boot. I tried to boot externally following the Apple recovery procedures, it will not boot.
In both scenarios, the boot screen comes on with the Apple logo, the status bar fills up all the way, then that’s it. I left it there over night once - Nothing. I used Disk Utility to scan/repair it. Disk Utility said it is operating normally. I can use Finder to open the disk and get files from it, no problem.
Does anyone know what could be wrong. It did format as APFS. Also, there is another clue. I tried the cloning recovery procedure using the Apple Disk Utility procedure, twice. Both times it failed. Disk Utility will not make a clone. What am i missing? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks, Albert
Is dit een goede vraag?
