anyone try restore drive snapshot image to new hd?

HI

just want to know this thing ... lets say i have 500 giga hd divided like this c:\ = 60 giga d:\ = 430 giga

the above disk is dead so i bought new 500 giga hd , divide it to c:\= 100 giga and d:\ = 400 giga ...

will the the image made in 60 giga (which old the OS ) partition will success bee restore to a 100 giga hd ?

 

Hi DemonEye,

Don't partition your HD. Restore and you will have 60GB OS drive. The rest will be unallocated 430GB. Then after increase the 60GB to 100GB. You will then have unallocated 400GB. Then allocate the 400GB as you desire, one partition or more than one partition.

The best program for such things is HDClone, the FREE version.

Just clone your OS 60GB drive to the new drive. The new drive can be any size but it has to be bigger than 60GB.

10x aladdin for your reply , but if i want my c: OS will be 100 giga this time instead of the 60 giga that the drive where made by drive snapshot? will it work restoring to bigger drive than he made from the first time

and my hd is dead ....

 

HI DemonEye,

You can always restore to a bigger drive and then adjust the allocation. But you cannot restore to a smaller drive. 60GB cannot fit on a 40GB drive. However, 60GB can easily fit on a 500GB drive, and then one can adjust the allocation.

hamm .. what u are saying is i can restore a 60 giga partition to 100 giga one by copy it / clone it and after that resize it to 100 giga with additional software?

 

Yes, free partition software from either EaseUS Partition Manager or IOMEI Partition Manager.

Yes.
