“the cloning is not functionning because your old disk has a problem, please test partitions with windows partition testing tool” : all is perfect in a brand new laptop “the cloning is not functionning because the new disk is unallocated, you should format it before cloning” : have you ever made some cloning before ?

They sent me by email the following advices :

The only help they gave me was to lost my time in operations that they knew to be useless. I can now tell you that i have been VERY disapointed by WD support. I need to work, so what can i do to solve this problem ?

I then downloaded Acronis Migrate 7.0 that is available for 15 days testing, and it also refuses to make the cloning, in either automatic or manual mode, telling me that the new drive has not enough spaceīut the most annoying is that i made a request to WD support last monday, and that after 2 days i still have no answer on that, not even for telling me that somebody as red about my problem and will answer soon… When launching it in manual mode, i select the small old disk as source, then acronis shows me the new disk as target, but in grey as i cannot select any disk. It can see the new disk, no problem.īut when launching the cloning in automatic mode, it refuses after a while, saying that there is a problem. I connect the wd 1000GB scorpio blue to an usb adaptor to my laptop, and run acronis. I downloaded Acronis True Image WD edition, with file tih_s_f_1492.exe, being the last version available on wdc.com. I have bought a WD 10JPVT scorpio blue to have more space, and want to clone the old small HD to the new WD one. Noted.I have a toshiba notebook with original 500GB HD full. Okay, so my experience might be something worth checking out in the docs, and DD sounds like a very simple yet powerful little program. There are plenty of tools included for disk imaging, partitioning, etc. I recommend v10.4 Reply 14 of 27, by CarlHopkinsUKĪlso, if you don't already use Hiren's Boot CD, you should look into it. Why not just use a CloneZilla boot disc and spare yourself the headache?Īlso, if you don't already use Hiren's Boot CD, you should look into it. There are ways of splitting and compressing images with DD in conjunction with other tools, but it gets messy and complicated pretty quickly. Because of that, destination media must always be larger than source media. As such, if your source disk is 160GB then your image file will also be 160GB, even if you only have 20GB of data on the source drive. It doesn't have cute nicknames like 'Data Destroyer', 'Disk Destroyer' and 'Destroyer of Disks' for no reason.Īlso, by itself DD doesn't do any image compression and it always does a sector-by-sector copy. With the wrong command you can easily wipe out data with DD. A healthy understanding of how Linux mounts and identifies drives is also recommended. Anyway, DD is a very powerful tool and you better make sure you read up on it before you use it.

I believe DD is a component of CloneZilla.

I'll keep a list below that I'll update with each new addition of software that someone recommends.Īlso, can someone verify the software/methods show in these topics? That would also be great. So, I'm asking for the help of you, the VOGONs community, to help point out to me and the rest of the VOGONS community what software can be used to accomplish such a task. There are so many options out there that I'm not aware of all of them and I'm not sure what to choose. The way I want to make a backup of them is to take them out of their respective machines and hook them up to my main 'modern' rig (triple boots Windows 10, XP, and Linux Mint) via a SATA-to-USB adapter and make either an image of them or, if I have to, clone them to another hard drive. You see, I want to make a backup of my hard drives that are in my Pentium 3 machine (a SATA 120GB Western Digital drive with a Windows 98 SE installation that takes up the whole drive) and my Pentium 4 machine (a SATA 250GB Seagate drive with a Windows 98 SE installation on the first 80GB, and a Windows XP SP3 installation on the remaining ~160GB, with a BootUS MBR to dual-boot into either OS).

Just as the title says, I'm looking for a list of software (or methods) that can make a full disk backup (either via cloning or imaging) of Windows 98 SE and XP that runs on modern OSes.
