Transferring the system to a new disk
You will have to select between:
• Delete partitions on the destination hard disk – all existing partitions will
be deleted during cloning and all their data will be lost.
• No, I do not want to delete partitions – no existing partition will be deleted,
discontinuing the cloning operation. You will only be able to cancel this
operation and return to select another disk.
To continue, select the first choice and click Next.
Note that no real changes or data destruction will be performed at this moment! For now, the
program will just create a cloning script. All changes will be implemented only when you click
Proceed, after the script is formed.
Old and new disk partition layout
If you selected the automatic mode before, the program will ask you for nothing
further. You will see the window graphically illustrating information (as rectangles)
about the source disk (partitions and unallocated space) and the destination disk
layout.
Along with the disk number, some additional information is provided: Partition
number, volume label (e.g. SYSTEM), file system (e.g. FAT16 or FAT32), partition
size in megabytes (MB). Partition types — primary, logical — and unallocated space
are marked with different colors.
Next you will see the cloning script.
Old disk data
If you selected the manual mode, the program will ask you what to do with the old
disk:
• Create a new partition layout – All existing partitions and their data will be
deleted (but they will also be cloned to the new disk, so you won't lose them)
• Keep data – leave the old disk partitions and data intact
• Destroy data – delete partitions (and data!) from the old disk
