I have two 1TB hard drives, and figured I would switch to SSD. Only have one slot for SSD on my MB, so I got a Samsung 970 EvoPlus 2TB, figuring I could split it into two partitions, put my C: drive on one and D: drive on the other. Ran into problems when I tried to clone my C: drive to the first partition, every software I tried ignored the two SSD partitions, and cloned the had drive onto the entire 2GB of the SSD. I tried 5 different kinds of software, including two from Samsung, have had no luck. Been searching Google for 2 days without success on finding a way to do this. There are several types of software that claim they can do it, but only the pay versions, and I'm leary of paying just to find out I have the same problem.
I've been out of the computer building world for many years now, have never used an SSD before, thought I would be able to do this like I've done a hundred times before with a regular hard drive. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
All I want to do: Clone C: drive to first partition of the SDD and make it bootable. Clone D: drive to the second partition of the SSD. Then, use the SSD instead of the hard drives, or use the hard drives for backup.
