- Create Acronis Bootable Media. See Acronis Disk Director 12: Creating Acronis Bootable Media;
- Boot from Acronis Bootable Media and select Acronis Disk Director 12.5:
- Select the disk you want to clone (you cannot clone a single partition, only cloning of an entire disk is possible), right-click and select Clone basic disk in the menu (or in the Operations list):
- Select the target disk and click Next:
(!) Target disk can only be selected if it is big enough to hold all data from source disk.
- Select to clone the disk As is or Useproportional volume resizing. Check the Copy NT signature box or leave it unchecked (applies only to Windows):
As is Use proportional resizing - As is: the partitions on the target disk will of the exact same size as on the source disk. If there is any free space left on the target disk after cloning, it will be unallocated.
- Useproportional volume resizing: the cloned partitions will be automatically resized to fit the space of the target drive. Proportional resizing works both for smaller and larger target disks.
- With the Copy NT signature option enabled, you will have the signature from the source disk copied to the target disk.
(!) With this option enabled, you will need to unplug one of the disks from the machine after cloning and before the first startup, otherwise the target disk will be unbootable. You cannot have two disks with the same NT signature on one machine.
- With the Copy NT signature option disabled, you will keep the existing signature of the target disk.
(!) Two disks with the same NT signature cannot work under one operating system. If there are two disks with the same NT signature, at the startup the operating system will run from the first disk, discover the same signature on the second one, automatically generate a new unique NT signature and assign it to the second disk. As a result, all the volumes on the second disk will lose their letters, all paths will be invalid on the disk, and programs will not find their files. The operating system on the second disk will be unbootable.
