I recently installed a Samsung 850 Pro 256 GB SSD and successfully cloned my OS to it. WIN 7 runs fine. I then made a bunch of updates to WIN 7 and tried to make a system image of the OS on the SSD, using the built-in WIN 7 utility, to a new WD Black 3TB drive. During the process the utility says the source SSD drive is 60 GB and the target HDD has 2.7 TB available. But then when I try to create the image it tells me it can't do it because there is not enough space available on the target HDD. I'm guessing it's reading something on the SSD that it finds incompatible with the HDD but have no idea what or how to fix it. Any ideas on how I can get a system image made to a HDD?
