When process complete, shut down system, remove old Disk 0 and remove New HDD and move it to the old Disk 0 drive bay. Question: Clone using Intelligent Sector Copy? Or Sector by Sector Copy? Run the Clone process Entire Disk 0 to New HDD. I assume I cannot Clone from within the Windows enviroment (Correct?) so Boot system with Recover USB to get into Windows PE. Question: Does the New HDD need anything done to it via Windows such as initializing, formating, partitioning before it can be recognized and go through the Cloning process? I propose to temporarily uninstall this HDD and install the new HDD target into this bay. I have a second hard drive installed for storage. Need confirmation of my understanding of the process and answers to some questions.įirst install Macrium Reflect Free onto the current Disk 0 and also make a Recover USB, then shut down the computer.
