Hard drive not cloning to new SSD. What to do?

Solution
In windows, Right click drive > Properties > tool tab.

Try venders website, IE Western Digital/Seagate/Hitachi ect for tools.

possibly try repairing windows, its a long shot, but I've had false positives on bad sectors due to a tattered OS.

Failing that, manually back up content, fresh install on SSD

Okay, I found a solution that worked for me. I was using the samsung "Data Migration" program and instead used True Image 2013 and cloned the drive using that instead. Thanks for trying to assist Kwolf484, luckily I didn't have to do anything and it was just a problem with samsung's program it seems.

Haha, yeah I just installed the 850 evo in my system. Try their software if you want but I definitely say that you should use True Image instead, just donwload the free version from WD or Seagate. As a side note though, the drive itself is working like a dream.
