I am getting super frustrated with this new UEFI windows/BIOS setup. I can't get a simple disk clone to work using Acronis True Image. The old drive will clone to the new drive successfully, but the computer will not boot from the new drive without a blue screen and then rebooting into automatic repair. Rinse, repeat. I hope that I'm missing something obvious. How do you make a disk clone work? Or are the days of easy disk cloning over and do I need to freshly install windows 8 when I want to use a new drive? Thanks much.

Now the original drive won't boot. I get a blue screen with the following error message:

The boot configuration data for you PC is missing or contains errors.

File:\EFI\Microsoft\Boot\BCD
Error Code: 0x000000f

What is going on here? All I did was clone the original drive. I'm just about ready to throw this computer through a window and go back to my Gateway.

Try putting riinaldrive by itself back in hit f9 repeatedly when you turn it on and see if you can do a factory re-image...
