Please select a volume and try again." If you also get this error while formatting partition via DiskPart, MiniTool solutions in this post may help you. It will probably takes me some time, but I promise I'll do it and will update this post as soon as I have identified the root cause.Some people reported that they got error message "There is no volume selected. Therefore I'll be able to identify which one was causing the issue.

So in summary, the issue I had was obviously somewhere in the BIOS or on the USB ports, but as I modified too many things at once, I'll now need to restart this again and again, by changing each time only 1 settings. it's working => in progress = 51% when I wrote these lines. I also connected the external HDD onto a USB 2.0 port and not on the USB3.0 port (we never know ?!)Īnd then I rebooted the machine, I deleted the boot.wim / boot.sdi / user.logĪnd then I tried the Clone OS option again. So I started to look at the BIOS, and I've modified some settings, in regards to BIOS boot (UEFI or Legacy or Both), USB settings, some strange Intel options as well, etc. I then installed the WinToUSB 2.1 Beta Patch, and tried to clone the OS => I had the same error again.

no nothing else than the OS itself and the drivers. No AV, no other software, no Windows update. I then only installed the drivers for the machine. In fact I've done more testing : I have completely wiped out my test machine (laptop Lenovo T440p) and re-installed a fresh image of Windows 7 SP1 Enterprise from the original Microsoft DVD. Obviously the error I have isn't caused by WinToUSB, but because of some options in the BIOS. PS.: Please find attached the user.log file in case you would need it. Hoping you could help, I thank you in advance for your replies. I indeed, only had to format the external drive properly, using Diskpart.

Knowing the process works on another computer, for a Win 7.1 Enterprise N, but which is using a 80GB HDD, and knowing I didn't had to create the both System & Boot partitions. So I'm wondering : what am I doing wrong? (for details, please see the screenshot below)Īnd what ever I try (Diskpart: create only 1 partition, or trying to recreate the both System and Boot partitions as identical as the host drive, etc.) after WinToUSB reboots the computer to start the cloning, I then always have the exact same message each time : I'm trying to clone a Win 7 SP1 Enterprise, onto an external HDD. (Please note I've tried the below process using both WinToUSB 2.0 and 2.1 beta versions)
