Can't Clone to New Drive

I am trying to Clone my old 80gb Intel ssd hard drive to a new Barracuda 1TB hard drive. The problem I am having is that Disk Wizard is not copying the partitions and thus the new drive is not bootable. Help with this please because my old drive is in need of replacement. This is a desktop application.

 

Any solution to this problem?

Fianlly an answer that is close to an explanation. Translated, I think you are saying that I can't clone an SSD to a conventional platter drive.? :smileyembarrassed:

Re: Can't Clone to New Drive

 I'm not sure you can't but I'm pretty certain it just leads to more hassles, I know I tried to clone from an SSD to a HDD, or it might be the other way around but either way it wasn't having any of it (sorry I can't be specific which way it was) but I play around quite a lot just to see what happens then forget to write it down for later reference..
