It is one LeCroy HDO6104-MS
I think is very reasonable that i wont to avoid to take apart this scope ;)

I really don't know if that Acronis sets those things up properly.  Windows experts might chime in.

There is a "bootable flag" on partitions in MS-DOS partition tables, as well as a partition field type, and the bootloader (MBR).  Make sure Acronis can and does clone those properly.

A low-level clone using the dd command from Linux for example might work.  It should work provided the SSD is larger than the original disk, and assuming no particular protection measures have been implemented by LeCroy.

This is the scope's internal HDD, right?  And you decided to replace it with an SSD for a particular reason?  Does it still work with the orignal disk?  What exactly happens during the boot process, what do you see?

Does that scope run Windows?

Assuming the original drive works, I would first run fdisk on both and dump the partition table info for both.  Post your results here.  Then I would check the contents of the MBR with dd and xxd for example.

The first step is to make sure the SSD is detected properly by the BIOS. I'm pretty sure the HDO6104 is just a Windows PC with a scope bolted on so nothing special going on. What interface does the SSD have? Is it properly configured for master / slave? If it is a Sata device, is the sata port enabled?

From my experience with a Lecroy WavePro 7k series: you can also opt to install Windows and Lecroy's software from scratch.

I have seen USB-SATA adapters that translate the sector size (4k vs 512) of the drive. If you format the drive through USB and then later connect it natively via SATA, the partition table will be broken.

And some BIOSses also use their own block translation. When I clone a disk, I always do this with the machine that the original disk is in and the 'new' disk should work with. Transplanting a hard drive from one PC to the other (with a different BIOS / motherboard) is not guaranteed to work in my experience.
