what happens to C: when i clone to big drive

hi-

I have used C: so long in windows and now my new big drive is J:
even in some java stuff i wrote everything in my code is always
c:\ centric. when it clones my drive i want to make the new drive
bootable. does the new drive remain J: or not? what happens
to the letter on the original smaller drive?
I plan on doing a manual clone procedure and erasing the
contents of the original drive. i am going to give the older smaller
drive to a co-worker that asked for the drive.

also if you know, what happens to the boot loader i think it is
grub for linux. when the clone process makes the new cloned
drive bootable does it overwrite grub and stick a windows boot
loader in there. if so, i can still change it back to grub with my
linux cd's i hope.

thanks very much for any advice,
jim

 

When you clone a drive, whatever was on the old drive will be on the new drive.
The new drive will become C.
The old drive, if installed on another system as a bootable drive by your co-worker will be C.

 

Hello all,

Thank you for choosing Acronis Disk Backup Software.

Yes, this is absolutely right. After the clone process performed with Acronis True Image everything including the MBR boot code, operating systems and their loaders, all applications and setting as long as the all files and folders stored on the drive will be transfer to the target one. The drive letter assignment will remain the same as it used to be on the sample drive.

Thank you.

Best regards,
