The source disk will
be recovered without

the disk space will be
available for use.
To overcome the
limitation:
1. Turn on the UEFI
mode in BIOS
2. Boot from a
bootable media,
and perform the
recovery. As a
result, the
recovered OS will
be converted to use
UEFI for booting.

The target disk will be
initialized as GPT.
The recovered disk OS
will be automatically
converted to support
UEFI booting.
Note: If you want to
recover the source disk
