- K AdamsSimply Works, Please read the last paragraph...This software simply works great and I found it easy to use. At first I had trouble with making a copy of my desktop PC in Ohio to take the cloned copy of a larger hard drive to Florida so I would not have to drag a big desktop back and forth every season but tech support understood the dilemma and helped me thru it. I discovered I had some bad sectors on my original hard drive and once I had Windows "CHKDSK" repair the original hard drive, it worked just as expected, so now I am a happy "Snowbird"
* Bit of advice to anyone claiming this software doesn't work or gives you an "ERROR" message or the program "Hangs up" partway thru the cloning process. It happened to me but it was because I had bad sectors on my original hard drive giving me an error but worked after I ran "CHKDSK" utility, then hung up about 85% thru due to the fact I had too many MP3 audio files (my music) so I did the bypass on my music folder in the "OPTION" button of the software setup. When the cloning was completed, I simply copied my music folder from the original hard drive to my cloned drive and wallah... I'm all tuned up. - ANHDO NOT PURCHASE THIS PRODUCT!This is an update to the review I wrote for NTI Echo 5 back in November 2021. I used the product one time after I purchased it with success; it cloned my hard drive perfectly. I should mention that it also caused the drive letters of my data drives and my external drives to change (my G:\ drive became my H:\ drive, and my L:\ drive became my M:\ drive) which caused issues for me because my programs were pointing to files in specific drive letters and I was no longer able to easily access those files without re-pointing the drive letters.
A few days ago, I decided to make clones of my hard drives and my data drive again on both my laptop and my desktop. I had nothing but problems!
It is important to point that I am retired Tech Support person and I worked in the computer field for 25 years before retiring. This is important to mention because I want all readers of this review to know that I know how to create clones and images of hard drives; I have done it thousands of times.
Well, back to a few days ago. When I tried to create a clone of my data drive again, I got a message stating "CANNOT FIND SOURCE DISK". This was quite odd because ECHO's software is very simple to use. On the left side of the screen there is a drop-down box marked SOURCE. I chose the DATA DRIVE from that drop-down box for my internal data drive-- the one I wanted to create a clone FROM. On the right side of the screen there is a drop-down box marked TARGET . I chose the external drive which was in an enclosure; i know this was correct because the drop down box indicated the enclosure by the name of the manufacturer and I only have one of those! So, I know the SOURCE and the TARGET choices I made from the two drop-down boxes were correct. However, the clone would not complete; no matter what I tried or how many times I tried it, I always got that message "CANNOT FIND SOURCE DISK".
I decided to write to NTI, the manufacturer of ECHO 5 software. After I did that, I went back to work on my PC thinking I'd have to wait at least an hour or two for an answer from the NTI corporation. Well, when I went to access one of my excel files, I discovered my data drive was completely wiped out! I had no data on the drive. the drive only consisted of two ECHO 5 folders, and 3 echo files, but ALL my data folders, all my data files (word files, excel files, PDF files, etc) were all gone!
I went over to my laptop where I had the same error ("CANNOT FIND SOURCE DISK"), and I found that my c:\ drive, which contained my system files AND my data files was also wiped clean! I had two ECHO 5 folders, and 3 files, but ALL my system files, data folders, all my data files (word files, excel files, PDF files, etc), all my program files were all gone!
I finally got a response from ECHO technician. I had only gotten the chance to write about the CANNOT FIND SOURCE DISK error, and not the damaged disk errors. He told me (this is after I sent him some ECHO .log files so they can see what happend) to connect the drive the ECHO system couldn't find to a SATA controller instead of the SAS controller. However, let's remember I am a 25 year computer tech veteran. I immeidatley recognized this as a song-and-dance answer , because I experienced the same problem with my laptop (exactly the same issues, errors, etc), andt here are no SATA CONTROLLERS or SAS CONTROLLERS on a laptop.
I spent three days reconstructing the data drive on my desktop. I purchased a program that recovers files from a mistakenly formatted disk, and I got most of my Desktop data files back. I was lucky. However, The system drive for my laptop was unrepairable, and I had to use an image from about 8 months ago and although I got the laptop going, I did not have any of my newer program files, and none of my data files. That stuff is lost forever.
ECHO's response to all this: "Unfortunately, there is no way to recover files lost by cloning the incorrect direction by not correctly selecting the source and target, which it’s the only way what you describe will happen by running Echo to clone a drive." This response is hogwash; I am not inexperienced with computer cloning and creating computer disk images. I definitely chose the correct drop-down menus choices and selected the correct drives for both my desktop and my laptop.
There are lots of cloning software choices and disk-imaging choices. I will continue to use my disk-imaging software. It takes a little longer to create the disk (you have to create the image first, and then put the image on the hard disk). It take about 3-5 hours to complete the entire task. HOWEVER, in my 25 years of working with computers, working with hard drives, creating images, creating cloned drives, etc. I never experienced anything like what happened here with ECHO 5. Don't take the chance; find something else. - LRWNTI Echo 5 finally workedTrying to clone a HHD to SSD drive. Program gives an error message “The selected boot device failed. Press F8 or enter> to continue.” Pressing enter does nothing you have now entered a loop and there is no obvious method of regaining control of your computer. In short the program is obviously not compatible with Windows 10 in some cases. From the other reviews this is a good program when it works but it did not for me.
UPDATE 4/25/2023 Tried a second laptop without "secure boot". Clone was sucessful but in minutes I get a blue screen with your computer needs to be repaired. I tried this procedure 5 times with 2 seperate SDD drives with the same results. I would rate NTI Echo 5 less than 1 if that option was present.
FINAL UPDATE 1/26/2024
Tried again and finally was sucessful in making a working clone. - RHEasy to use once you jump through all the hoops!I don't know why they bother to send a cd because you basically have to go to the website to download the product. I was having some difficulty installing it from the cd and tried to call their tech support but the admin assistant who answered the phone said something about them having an issue with their licensing server but was able to tell me how to get to where I needed to go to download the correct product. I will say the software once you are able to get it downloaded is fairly easy to use and worked great for cloning my HDD to my new SSD. I would have given it 5 stars if I didn't have to jump through those hoops to get it working.
