I recently bought a Winclone 8 license (standard), in order to migrate a physical PC to BootCamp on a iMac (2019 machine with Catalina).
I tried to follow the procedure described here : https://twocanoes.com/knowledge-base/migrating-a-real-pc-to-boot-camp
Steps 1 & 2 are OK : I have the disk, cloned & syspreped from the original PC, removed from it & now attached to the iMac via USB 3.0.
Now my problem is… how to proceed to step 3 ?!
"We are now ready to migrate the PC to Boot Camp.
Select the PC drive in Sources
Select the Boot Camp partition in Destinations
Click Restore to Volume…"
I don’t find the screens showed by the screenshot given for this procedure… are they from a previous version of Winclone ?
Indeed, with the version of Winclone I have, I’m unable to find a function letting me select the external drive of the PC as source and the BootCamp partition as destination to do the job, neither in “Capturing” nor in “Restoring” .
Should I have to first create a image of the PC disk, then restore this image into my Boot Camp partition ?
Yes, the external drive, when connected, is mounted and shown on the desktop.
If I have a look in it from the Finder, I can see the folders “Windows”, “Program Files”, “Program Files (x86)”, etc., so the content is OK.
Then, when I go to WinClone :
If I use “Restore Image” from the “Restoring” section, it doesn’t work : WinClone waits for an image, not a volume (“Please select a winclone image”).
If I use “Volume to Volume Cloning”, I can indeed select the external volume as source and the BOOTCAMP volume as destination, but when I click on “Clone”, I get the error : “Block Size Mismatch / The source and destination volumes have a different physical block size and Volumle cloning cannot be used. Please create a File-based (WIM) image of the source and restore the image to the destination”.
