    I want to copy the laptop hard drive, Windows 8.1 on a new hdd.
    This operation is impossible!
    After selecting Copy & Migration> Copy Hard Disk> ...> Apply, the message "Restart the computer", click on restart> the message "Operation failed, Failed to set up service bluescreen".
    What am I doing wrong?
    Please help me!
    Thank You.

    Try this: create a boot medium and do the copy using it.

    I copy old HDD (OS and other partition) to a new HDD whit boot medium.
    If I replaced the old hdd to new hdd, the message is " Missing operating sistem " and nothing else.

    USA still the best. But barely.
    I'm guessing cause of lack of data. Did you FORMAT the new drive?

    What program are you using to copy? Is the disk a GPT disk? Could you post a map of the partitions in the copied disk?

    The copy program is Paragon Hard Disk Manager 15 Premium.
    In the program "Disk map" section I see "Basic MBR Hard Disk" for old HDD.
    Because old hdd is MBR, the copy process set the new hdd MBR too!
    First OS for this Sony Vaio laptop was Windows 7, upgrated to Windows 8 and aplied Windows 8.1 update.

    Check that the Windows partition is set as "active". Or try to "repair" the installation using the Boot Corrector.
