P2P adjustment with Paragon B&R Recovery 10

Hi,
I'm actually testing the demo version of this product.
I'm particularly interested in the P2P adjustment feature.

I booted on the recovery CD in order to transfer a previous image on a computer with dissimilar material.

However ,during the recovery process, I did not find and see the P2P wizzard that I'm supposed to use to achieve this operation.
Is it particular to the demo version?
Thank you.

 

babac,

I suppose, you used Linux-based Recovery CD (created via Recovery Media Builder). If there were Boot menu with Normal Mode\Safe Mode\etc options, it is Linux-based.

P2P Adjust OS is available only from WinPE Recovery CD, which is not available for Trial\Demo.

In WinPE Recovery environment there is specific option 'P2P Adjust OS'. It should be started manually after restore to dissimilar hardware .

 

Hi Mech_An,
Thank you for your answer.I now understand why.
However, can you explain this more?

 

There is specific point in Main menu of WinPE Recovery CD called 'P2P Ajust OS wizard'.

Please have a look at detailed instructions in user manual here http://download.paragon-software.com/doc/manual_br10home_en.pdf
page 197, section "Making system bootable on different hardware (P2P Adjust OS)"

 

Hi - just want to make sure I understand how this works. I'm using Paragon B&R 10 Home Special Edition which was a free offering (thanks!). It has the P2P OS Adjust Wizard, but I'm guessing it could only be used on an offline OS in a different partition...? What I want to do is move my hard disk to another computer. I would need to run the P2P OS Adjust Wizard from a boot CD and that Wizard is only available on the WinPE boot disk. Bottom-line is I need to buy the product to get this functionality. Am I understanding this correctly? Got any Holiday Sales going?

 

Hi Mech_An,

Thank you for these explanations.
It's very clear and I appreciate your help.
Just too bad the P2P is not testable under the demo version.I would have liked to test its efficiency before buying it.I still hesitate to buy it for that reason.

 

Hi Victek,

Yes, that's right.

If you can connect your current pc ( with paragon installed ) to the new one , you can run the p2p adjust from your current installation

As you are moving your HD - then you will need some other way to run p2p adjust - a winpe boot disc.

You could make your own winpe disc and put paragon on it, or buy the product and d/l the premade winpe iso.
