[@HarFanG] Thanks, but no one wants to clone a partition, as few folks even know what or why a partition is.
Everyone wants to clone a disk, because that’s about the sophistication anyone needs:
– swap in a new drive in for the old drive coming out, for repair or upgrade,
– copy the good drive over a blank drive to use the clone drive to re-setup a second computer,
– keep a perfect drive with all installations as a master to make copies for each subsequent computer or repair.
I’ve been doing this for 40+ years, and have absolutely no desire to clone a partition, ever, never have, and never will.
Anyone who repartitions a drive to have separate boot and system versus DATA partitions does not understand disks nor disk performance.
But if someone can’t figure out how to drag-and-drop DATA from one disk to another without software … well then, they just like making work for themselves.
Ya see, non-program data storage does not need any special software to clone it.
Only booting and installed REGISTERED programs and their REGISTERED DATA directories, and manufacturer’s and OS boot and support and troubleshooting and diagnostic and reinstall partitions, need cloning software.
Otherwise, please explain why drag-and-drop is not all anyone needs to “clone” simple DATA storage.
Thanks for sharing.
