How to fix Macrium Reflect clone failed
Macrium Reflect clone failed with a read or write error is happening to different users all the time. And in different situations, it shows different error messages. Just like the case:
"While I was trying to clone my OS from HDD to a new Samsung 840 SSD using Macrium Reflect, I keep getting an error that says
'Clone failed - Read failed - 13 - Broken pipe'
Any help with this problem?"
If you are unfortunately caught by this issue during disk cloning, please don't worry! It is not a big issue and there are some possible ways to help you out.
Run CHKDSK to check & repair source disk errors that might cause Macrium Reflect clone failed issue
1.Click 'Start' > 'All Programs' > 'Accessories' then click 'Command Prompt'.
2. Type 'chkdsk C: /r /f', with "C" replaced with the letter of your source drive if different, and press Enter.
The command will start CHKDSK to perform a full scan on the source disk and repair all the errors, bad sectors or corruption it finds. When it completed, reboot your PC and try the clone again.
As chkdsk does not always capture and fix all the disk problems, it is likely that Macrium Reflect still cannot complete the disk cloning process.
Try an alternative software when Macrium Reflect clone failed after CHKDSK
If it happens, we recommend you to try Qiling backup software as an alternative solution to manage the disk clone job. With sector by sector clone feature, the program is able to successfully clone a hard drive with bad sectors.
Step 1. Launch and run Qiling Backup on your PC and select "Clone" on the tool page.
Step 2. Select the disk or partition that you want to clone.
If you prefer to allocate the target disk with the same layout as the source disk, just enable a sector level clone by ticking "Sector by sector clone".
And then select the destination disk that you want to save cloned disk or partition with data.
Step 3. Click "Proceed" to start cloning your disk or partition now.
Since it's an SSD, tick the box for "Optimize for SSD". This helps run your SSD at its best performance after cloning.
