Chapter 14. Transferring the system to a
new disk
14.1 General information
Sooner or later computer users find that their hard disk is just too small. If you don’t have
space for more data, you can add another disk specifically for data storage.
For example, 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.
This feature is available in Acronis True Image Echo Workstation local version only.
Transferring systems using Acronis True Image Management Console is not supported.
To transfer the system, you must first install the disk in the computer. If a computer
doesn’t have a bay for another hard disk, you can temporarily install it in place of your
CD-ROM. If that is not possible, you can clone a hard disk by creating its image and
restoring it to a new hard disk with larger partitions.
There are two transfer modes available: automatic and manual.
In the automatic mode, you will only have to take some simple actions to transfer all the
data, including partitions, folders and files, to a newer disk, making it 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 additional 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 among the old disk partitions
• new disk space is distributed manually
2. You will also be able to select operations to perform on the old disk:
• leave partitions (and data) on the old disk
• remove all information from the old disk
• create new partitions on the old disk (and remove all the older information)
On program screens, damaged partitions are marked with a red circle and a white “X”
inside in the upper left corner. Before you start cloning, you should check such disks for
errors using the appropriate operating system tools.
