Okay so i just got my replacement drive (WD Blue) and went to go clone it with WD Acronis True Image but when i try to clone it my PC restarts like its supposed to but then I get this (https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BxoqPI2lfnzDV0o1dEJOanpnTHc/edit?usp=docslist_api). So I called WD support and they told me it has something to do with the BIOS and they cant help me so here I am asking for help. :)

ahhh I see, you need to enter BIOS and turn off the Secure Boot option, since Acronis isn't a recognizable OS for your BIOS it won't let it do changes to a boot sector that needs to be done when cloning.

Such option differs its position from BIOS to BIOS so you'll have to look around for it, maybe inside advanced settings or chipset settings.
Your link doesn't work, as for the BIOS settings, its possible that you created that image with your SATA mode in BIOS set to IDE and now you're trying to clone it using AHCI mode, or viceversa, you need to make sure you're using the same setting on which the Image was created.

If you can't remember which mode was set when creating the Image simply change the current setting to the other one and see if it fixes the problem.
