If you elect to transfer information "as is," a new partition will be created for every old one
with the same size and type, file system and label. The unused space will become
unallocated. Further, you will be able to use the unallocated space to create new partitions
or to enlarge the existing partitions with special tools.
As a rule, "as is" transfers not recommended as they leave much unallocated space on the
new disk. Using the "as is" method, Apricorn EZ Gig II transfers unsupported and damaged
file systems.
If you transfer data proportionally, each partition will be enlarged, according to the
proportion of the old and new disk capacities.
FAT16 partitions are enlarged less than others, as they have a 4 GB size limit.
Depending on the selected combination, you will proceed to either the old disk partitioning
window, or the disk partition layout window (see below).
10.3.8 Partitioning the old disk
If you selected Create a new partition layout earlier in the process, it is now time to
repartition your old disk.
During this step, you will see the current disk partition layout. Initially, the disk has
unallocated space only. This will change when you create new partitions.
Having completed the required steps, you will add a new partition. To create another one,
simply repeat those steps.
If you make a mistake, click Back to redo.
After you create the necessary partitions, uncheck the Create new partition in
unallocated space box and click Next.
10.3.9 Cloning summary
In the next window, you will see a list of briefly described operations to be performed on the
disks.
