Transferring the system to a new disk

Chapter 3. Transferring the system to a new

disk

3.1 General information

Sooner or later, many PC users find that their hard disk is too small. If you just

don’t have space for more data, you can add another disk just for data storage as

described in the following chapter.

However, you might find that your hard disk does not have enough space for the

operating system and installed applications, preventing you from updating your

software. In this case, you have to transfer the system to a higher-capacity hard

disk.

To do that, you must first install the disk in the PC. Although this operation is

relatively simple, we do not recommend that inexperienced users perform it

themselves; you should have a professional to do it. If you still want to do this

yourself, see Appendix B.

If a PC doesn’t have a bay for another hard disk, you can temporarily install it in place of your

CD-ROM. If it’s still impossible, you can clone a hard disk by creatin

its ima

e and restorin

to a new hard disk with larger partitions. Creatin

an ima

e requires Acronis True Ima

software.

There are two transfer modes available: automatic and manual.

In the automatic mode, you will only have to take a few simple actions to transfer

all the data, including partitions, folders and files, to a newer disk. You also will

make the disk bootable if the original disk was bootable.

There will be only one difference between these disks – partitions on the newer disk

will be larger. Everything else, including the installed operating systems, data, disk

labels, settings, software and everything else on the disk will remain the same.

This is the only result available in the automatic mode. The pro

ram can only duplicate the

original disk layout to the new one. To obtain a different result, you will have to answer

additional questions about cloning parameters.

The manual mode will provide more data transfer flexibility.

1. You will be able to select the method of partition and data transfer:

• as is

• new disk space is proportionally distributed between the old disk partitions

• new disk space is distributed manually
