So... what was all that about how to clone a drive/disk to a single
partition, and then doing it again later to another partition... so
that one could keep "generational copies"??
I personally don't think you can do that. Maybe you can???
You own Casper, don't you? TRY it.
****, okay, I'll try it and report back.
Don't bother. It can be done... I did it yesterday to test it out.
Keeping multiple images with Acronis is much simpler if one wants that
ability.

You can't boot the Copy, I just tried it.
I can boot my Clone, not my Copy.
You tried something else.
Nope. I used "Copy a specific drive".
To be bootable, it's gotta be in the Primary partition.
Trust me: ALL such copies will be "bootable" (an EXACT duplicate)
except for the above limitation - they HAVE to be if they are going to
be "reverse-clonable" to restore the system partition.
My second drive has D and E.
My copy is on D
It wouldn't boot.
That's all I know.
You did something wrong. It worked on mine yesterday and it just
worked again.
On TWO internal drives (I have four counting my system drive - plus
two externals).

Is the partition you booted from marked "Active" when you look in disk
management?
Ps It's hard to do something wrong when I just copied C to D.
I unplugged my C drive and plugged the second drive in that connector
on my MB.
"No boot device available"
DID you go into your BIOS and make SURE the new disk is first in the
boot order????
