Hello hasthast,

Thank you for your interest Acronis Remote Server Backup Software.

Please accept our apologies for the delay with the response.

Please be aware that Acronis True Image embedded disk cloning tool allows you to transfer the entire contents of one hard drive to another. It does not allow you to transfer a single (system) partition only.

Please also note that after the disk cloning process is finished you should unplug one of the hard drives prior to booting into Windows for the first time, since keeping both original and cloned hard drives connected might cause different boot or drive letter assignment problems.

If you want to transfer a single system partition then we recommend you to create an image of this partition saving it any type of the supported media (e.g. internal\external\network drive, CD, DVD, etc.) and then restore the beforehand created image to the desired location.

Please take a look at this FAQ article explaining the difference between disk cloning and disk imaging approaches in more detail.

Please be aware that in case of transferring less number of partitions than it was originally, you might get into the known problems descried in these previous threads: auto logoff problem, Re: Mr.
