O&O DiskImage 7 User's Guide - O&O Software

Quick Start
4. You can then specify the target drive. Simply enable the check next to the drive or the disk.
5. In the following dialog under Advanced, you can specify whether certain functions should be executed when
cloning is completed. These functions are disabled by default.
6. Once you've enabled all your settings, click Start cloning, to begin the cloning process.
7. You can also “recopy” your clone in exactly the same fashion - to put it back on your computer/drive.
Important! When cloning your drive (source drive), the selected target drive, will be overwritten. All data stored on
it will be deleted and replaced by the clone! You should therefore save the clone on something like an external hard
disk chosen for this purpose.
Note: When cloning a drive, you should adjust the properties of the target drive for future application. Make sure, for
example, that the system partitions of the clone will also be able to boot.
Note: If you're using a second hard disk as a target, O&O DiskImage will change its signature. This will guarantee
that there are no two hard disks with the same signature connected to your computer. There might otherwise be
complications during cloning or even a possible system crash. With simple hard disk structures (basic disk), all partitions
in the operating system will be recognized by a link from hard disk signature and partition offset. During cloning,
the registry entries of the drive letters, including the letters, will be adapted to the target system.
Note: If you want to restore the clone of a system partition onto a PC with different hardware, please bear in mind
the notes in chapter Machine independent restoration (M.I.R.).
