The problem is most likely unaligned extended partition\/volumes.<\/p>\r\n

You should only move\/restore an entire extended partition to a drive that has the same geometry as the original.  <\/p>\r\n

To fix this you'll need to do several steps, in general they are:<\/p>\r\n

    \r\n
  1. Disable the Align on End<\/strong> option under Drive Settings<\/strong> (make sure the correct drive is selected). <\/li>\r\n
  2. Slide the extended partition either direction so that it does move. <\/li>\r\n
  3. Resize the end of the extended partition to be larger (say 20MB free inside). <\/li>\r\n
  4. Slide all the volumes, starting at the end, down a small number of MB (say 8MB). <\/li>\r\n
  5. Enable the Align on End<\/strong> option under Drive Settings<\/strong>. <\/li>\r\n
  6. Resize all the volumes, keeping them the same size. <\/li>\r\n
  7. Optionally, slide all the volumes back up. <\/li>\r\n
  8. Optionally, resize the end of the extended partition to have 0MB free space inside. <\/li>\r\n <\/ol>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
