Cloning Hard Disks
You can clone a hard disk of any file system. During the hard disk copying process, the program moves controlling
records of used partitioning scheme, the bootstrap code and on-disk partitions. That’s why this operation cannot be
substituted by simply copying all on-disk partitions.
The program offers the Copy Hard Disk Wizard that can help to clone a hard disk.
Copy Hard Disk Wizard
The Copy Hard Disk Wizard is a traditional-like wizard. By going through its steps, you configure all the necessary
settings to launch the copy operation. To minimize the possibility of making any mistake, the wizard provides auxiliary
information on every single option. Moreover you can get an in-depth description to any setting, control, or field of the
wizard just by clicking the hint button and then the object you need.
You need at least two hard disks to carry out this operation.
