(Partition size, Free space before, Free space after). Click Accept when the partition has the

required size and location and then click Next.

Specify the settings for the second partition which in this case is your system partition. Click New

location, then select unallocated space on the destination disk that will receive the partition. Click

Accept, check the partition type (change, if necessary). You should remember that the system

partition must be primary and marked as active. Specify the partition size which by default equals

the original size. Usually there is no free space after the partition, so allocate all the unallocated

space on the new disk to the second partition, click Accept and then click Next.

9. Carefully read the summary of operations to be performed. If you do not want to validate the

backup, click Proceed, otherwise click Options and select the "Validate backup archive before

recovery" box before clicking Proceed.

Windows should not "see" both the new and old drive during the first boot after recovery. If you upgrade the old

drive to a larger capacity new one, disconnect the old drive before the first boot otherwise there may be

Switch off the computer, if you need to disconnect the old drive, otherwise just reboot the computer

after removing the rescue media.

Boot the computer to Windows. It may report that new hardware (hard drive) is found and Windows

needs to reboot. After making sure that the system operates normally, restore the original boot

sequence.

you to avoid such issues as the program not detecting your hard drives, changing disk letters, etc. To

reduce the risk of problems during recovery even more, validate the backup archive to be recovered

track 0" box at the What to recover step. Select just the data partition you want to recover.

partition to the original location, you only need to check the settings. If you want to recover the
