• leave partitions (and data!) on the old disk
• remove all information from the old disk
• Create new partitions on the old disk (and remove all the older information)
On all screenshots below, damaged partitions are marked with a red circle and a white cross

using corresponding operating system tools.

Security

Please note the following: if the power go out or you accidentally press RESET
during the transfer, the procedure will be incomplete and you will have to partition
and format or clone the hard disk again.
No data will be lost on the old disk though; they were only being read (no partitions
were changed or resized).
Nevertheless, we do not recommend that you delete data from the old disk until you
are sure it is correctly transferred to the new disk, the PC boots up from it and all
applications work.
