3.1.2 Cloning to Smaller Capacity Drives

Target drives must be at least the same capacity or larger than the Master drive.
Specifically, each Target drive must have the same number of sectors (or Logical
Block Addresses/LBAs) or a larger number of sectors or LBAs than the Master.
If the Master drive is larger in capacity than any Target drive, it is still possible to
clone the drive, but there are some adjustments that will need to be made to
the Master drive. The following applies to any Operating System:

The partitions on the Master drive need to be adjusted to be less than
the capacity/size of the smallest Target drive.

The partitions on the Master drive need to be adjusted so that the
free/unallocated space is at the end of the drive.
Once the partitions have been adjusted to properly fit the Target drive, it can be
cloned using any of the cloning methods.
Sample original drive (1 TB drive):


It is highly recommended to make a backup copy of the
Master drive by performing a Mirror copy of the drive to
make sure there is an exact duplicate backup of the Master
drive before changing partition sizes.

Logicube cannot provide support on how to re-size or shrink
partitions, however, there are several articles and
software/utilities/tools available on how to re-size or shrink
partitions.
