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 – 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.
If you are going to sell, present, etc. your old disk, we recommend you to clean it
from any information to avoid it getting into wrong hands.
If you are going to keep the old disk for yourself and use it for data storage, you
can create a new partition layout on it. In this case the disk will be ready right after
cloning is complete.
To protect yourself from unforeseen consequences, it would be better to leave the
old disk data intact, as you will be able to delete them anytime you want later.
