Cloning with manual partitioning
13.4.1
Old and new disk partition layouts
The manual transfer method enables you to resize partitions on the new disk. By default, the
program resizes them proportionally.
In the next window, you will see rectangles indicating the source hard disk, including its
partitions and unallocated space, as well as the new disk layout.
Along with the hard disk number, you will see its capacity, label, partition and file system
information. Different partition types, including primary, logical, and unallocated space, are
all colored differently.
To resize either partition, check the
Proceed Relayout
box. If you are satisfied with the
partition layout shown, uncheck this box (if checked). Clicking
Next,
you will proceed to the
cloning script window.
Be careful! Clicking
Back
in this window will reset all size and location changes that you've selected, so
you will have to specify them again.
First, select a partition to resize. It will become underlined in red.
Resize and relocate it on the next step.
You can do this by entering values to
Unallocated space before
,
Partition size
,
Unallocated space after
fields, by dragging partition borders, or the partition itself.
If the cursor turns to two vertical lines with left and right arrows, it's pointed at the partition
border and you can drag it. If the cursor turns to four arrows, it's pointed at the partition
and you can move it to the left or right (if there's unallocated space near it).
Having provided the new location and size, click
Next
. You will be taken two steps back to
the partition layout. You may have to perform some more resizing and relocation before you
get the layout you need.
