Copy hard disk wizard
Upgrading to a new hard disk you are starting to think about huge amount of reinstallation work. Finding CD-keys, installing, adjusting, updates downloading - huh.., you are not so happy with your new "toy" now. Forget about all the reinstalling work with Paragon Drive Copy. Using Copy Hard Disk Wizard it takes few mouse clicks to copy entire hard disk to a new one. All the data from your old hard disk including operating systems and applications with their settings will be copied in minutes. Just wait till disk copying will be done and there you are - your new hard disk is partitioned with all your data, operating systems and applications and it's ready to use.
Copy Hard Disk Wizard is based on Paragon's Hot Copy technology. Due to Hot Copy Technology your hard disk will be copied with all the "files in use" and working operating system without interrupting it.
Moreover, Copy Hard Disk Wizard automatically changes the size of hard disk partitions in the same proportion with keeping their relative order intact. This feature of Copy Hard Disk Wizard can be useful if the capacities of your new hard disk and of the old one differ.
With built-in Scheduler and external hard disks support you can use Copy Hard Disk Wizard as regular hard disk backup solution.
During Copy Hard Disk Wizard you will be asked whether you like or not to:
- Copy all sectors, one to one - allows you to create exact copy of the disk. No matter what file systems you use, all the sectors will be copied (even unused sectors).
- Remove free blocks between partitions - allows you to leave no blocks of free space between partitions on the target hard disk.
- Perform hard disk surface test - allows you to perform surface test of the new hard disk. If the program finds bad sectors it will mark them as unusable sectors.
- Verify writing - may be useful in case of unstable hard disk working. Every write-to disk action is followed by the read-and-compare action.
- Copy data and resize partitions proportionally - disabling this feature you can copy your hard disk without resizing.
- Schedule hard disk copy process.
