Drive Cloning Problem: Sector Size Issue?

rather than making an image to the new drive, the idea was to make an image backup either to an external drive, or if you don't have one available, to a second partition on the new drive, then restore the image to the new drive - ie forget about cloning.
failing that you could try creating a partition on the new drive, and clone using macrium, but use the drag and drop method suggested for ssd's in the macrium help.!!

I've used Macrium Reflect (free) to clone a couple of drives, including a hard disk to an SSD and a 300 to a 500 GB laptop drive.
Both times it worked fine.
I don't have the URL, but I chose it from a page of recommendations on the Microsoft web site.0
