you might find that
your hard disk does not have
space for the operating system and
installed applications
in this case
you have to transfer the system to a
higher capacity hard disk

system hard disk with an SSD to enhance
the disk system performance

operations

bootable media or running in automatic
mode
this is the easiest way to clone a hard
disk let's look at the difference
between back up and disk cloning
operations the backup operation of a
crow software creates a backup for
disaster recovery purposes
while the disk cloning tool copies the
entire contents of one hard disk drive
to another
when you use the disc clone tool all the
contents of one hard disk drive or
copied onto another hard disk drive
as a result both the source and the
target disk have the same data

windows operating system
this disc will function only on this
computer or a pc with an identical
chipset and our eid controller if you
use a clone disk on a pc with the
similar hardware your system may become
unresponsive
when you create a backup with a Cronus
to image the result is a compressed div
file containing an exact copy of your
hard disk disk partition or individual
files or folders
you can create a backup of one partition
and recover data

support cloning of partitions

information see our video how to recover

important considerations
on program screens damage partitions are
marked with the red circle with a white
cross inside in the upper left corner
before you start calling you should
check the disk for errors and correct
the errors using the appropriate
operating system tools

drive

external USB hard drives
please clone to internal SSD or HDD
instead
