I was concerned about this and the exact same thing happened with my mom's computer. Recap of the situation, CrystalDiskInfo had flagged your drive as faulty as it did with my mom's. I attempted twice to clone my mom's faulty drive with Macrium and before the second attempt ran CHKDSK and Macrium still failed because of a read error. Then I tried Acronis True Image WD Edition and it stopped at the same bad spot, but it gave the option to ignore all errors, which I did for her drive and you did with your drive. All Windows users should have CrystalDiskInfo installed to alert them to drives with problems and in my opinion Acronis software is the only thing to clone a faulty drive with simply because it doesn't give up unless you tell it to. Btw, I'm still optimistic with the SSD clone you made because your computer has been booting properly and wherever the problem on the hard-drive is, it's apparently in a non-critical data area. :) Josh PS. My mom's new SSD is working great! * * *
