I don't see the problem. If it's just not reporting the source (old) player's SN correctly, it should still be able to clone the unit.
Or are you saying that it doesn't show the right source SN AND it doesn't clone correctly.

Before starting from scratch, you could temporarily put the old drives (one at a time) into the new player and copy the FIDS directory.

Yes, it's not letting me clone, the clone button is not comming up...
