Have used Winclone since version 3 but need to move to more disk space. Upgraded to Winclone 8.
Disk Format NTFS, Size 120.32 GB, Available 13.55 GB. Process runs for approx 10 minutes, shows 6% complete, creates file size of 4 GB then ends with error. I have included the last few lines of the Log file.
Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

This is usually caused by the helper crashing, which is usually caused by disk (or file) errors. Try switching to block based imaging in the preferences and see if it works better.

Hi Tim,

Before creating the Image, I successfully ran chkdsk /b on the Windows Bootcamp. I then checked the Preferences for Block-based imaging. The process completed very quickly with a pop-up message that indicated **Clone completed - The image was created successfully - OK **The****Bootcamp_Bkp.winclone image was only 580 bytes

My MacBook Pro has an SSD drive so I ran the Winclone 8.0 process again and saved the image to my Desktop instead of an attached hard drive. The Clone completed and image was created successfully. Again the file size was only 580 bytes.

As another test, I un-checked Use Block-Based imaging. The imaging process took longer, but failed again. It created an image of 4.03 GB.

I welcome any suggestions you have to create a successful Winclone image.

Thanks, Bruce

Tim, Additional details from the Error log. I checked the Preferences for Block and saved the image to my external hard drive that has multiple TB of free space. It says the NTFS volume is bigger than the device size?

Thanks for your input,

Bruce

When it created the image, how long did it take? The finder sometimes does not show the correct size. Try control clicking on the image in the finder, select Show Package Contents… and then look for a file called Windows.wim or boot.img.gz and look at the size of those files.

Hi Tim,

a) With the Block option checked, the error was presented within a few seconds. The size of the boot.img.gz file is 20 bytes

b) With the Block option un-checked the process worked for a few minutes before the error. The size of the Windows.wim is 4.12 GB

Thanks for you assistance, Bruce

Sounds like you have some disk related errors. Do you have any other disk utilities that may help to repair any issues?

Tim, I have run chkdsk /b… several times. I have run Check Disk to automatically fix systems errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors. I have run Defragmentation.

I am not getting alerts indicating there is any problem with disk errors. I welcome input for any disk utilities you recommend.

Thanks for your help…. Bruce
