One lesson to be learned from this exercise...
Never modify the source disk until you're absolutely certain the destination disk's clone is a bootable fully functional drive with no problems.

The disk-cloning operation obviously went awry either due to user error (a most common occurrence) or something amiss with the d-c program itself. But what's done is done...

The obvious solution would be to repeat the d-c operation either with the same program or a different one and ensure you're using it properly. But there seems to be a possible problem with this comparatively simple solution...

When you made a screen image of Disk Management there seems to have been an ongoing operation involving the formatting of that drive which I assume was the source drive for the d-c operation. Is that so? Has that drive been formatted and the OS is "gone with the wind"?

I cloned the HDD over to the SSD then formatted it. I made a system image of the SSD and I am going to use Ease US partition manager to extend the volume. If something goes wrong I have the clone on freshly formatted HDD.
