Chapter 4. Adding a new hard disk
If you don't have enough space for your data (e.g. family photos and videos), you
can either replace the old disk with a new higher-capacity one (data transfers to
new disks are described in the previous chapter), or add a new disk only to store
data, leaving the system on the old disk. If the PC has space for another disk, it
would be easier to add a disk drive than to clone one.
To add a new disk, you must first install it in your PC. Although this operation is
relatively simple, we do not recommend it for inexperienced users, and advise them
to have a professional do it. If you still want to install it yourself, first take the time
to study Appendix B.
4.1
Selecting a hard disk
Select the disk that you've added to the PC.
This window might be bypassed if the program detects the new disk itself. In this
case, you will immediately proceed to the New partition creation.
If there are any partitions on the new disk, they must be deleted first.
Select Delete partitions on the destination hard disk and click Next to
continue.
