Transferring the system to a new disk

Chapter 3. Transferring the system to a new
disk
3.1 General information
Sooner or later, many PC users find that their hard disk is too small. If you just
don’t have space for more data, you can add another disk just for data storage as
described in the following chapter.
However, you might find that your hard disk does not have enough space for the
operating system and installed applications, preventing you from updating your
software. In this case, you have to transfer the system to a higher-capacity hard
disk.
To do that, you must first install the disk in the PC. Although this operation is
relatively simple, we do not recommend that inexperienced users perform it
themselves; you should have a professional to do it. If you still want to do this
yourself, see Appendix B.
If a PC doesn’t have a bay for another hard disk, you can temporarily install it in place of your
CD-ROM. If it’s still impossible, you can clone a hard disk by creatin

software.
There are two transfer modes available: automatic and manual.
In the automatic mode, you will only have to take a few simple actions to transfer
all the data, including partitions, folders and files, to a newer disk. You also will
make the disk bootable if the original disk was bootable.
There will be only one difference between these disks – partitions on the newer disk
will be larger. Everything else, including the installed operating systems, data, disk
labels, settings, software and everything else on the disk will remain the same.
This is the only result available in the automatic mode. The program can only duplicate the
original disk layout to the new one. To obtain a different result, you will have to answer
additional questions about cloning parameters.
The manual mode will provide more data transfer flexibility.
1. You will be able to select the method of partition and data transfer:
as is
new disk space is proportionally distributed between the old disk partitions
new disk space is distributed manually
