No cloning application should take 12+ hours.
There are/were other problems.

well after leaving acronis running for about 12 hours i concluded this was never going to reach a conclusion so terminated the process,but then trying to reboot from the original drive found it would not,so i installed the new ssd into the netbook thinking all was lost.
