.SS Windows Cloning
|
||||
If you want to copy, move or restore a system or boot partition to another
|
||||
computer, or to a different disk or partition (e.g. hda1\->hda2, hda1\->hdb1
|
||||
or to a different disk sector offset) then you will need to take extra care.
|
||||
|
||||
Usually, Windows will not be able to boot, unless you copy, move or restore
|
||||
NTFS to the same partition which starts at the same sector on the same type
|
||||
of disk having the same BIOS legacy cylinder setting as the original
|
||||
partition and disk had.

|
||||
The ntfsclone utility guarantees to make an exact copy of NTFS but it
|
||||
won't deal with booting issues. This is by design: ntfsclone is a
|
||||
filesystem, not system utility. Its aim is only NTFS cloning, not Windows
|
||||
cloning. Hereby ntfsclone can be used as a very fast and reliable
|
||||
build block for Windows clonning but itself it's not enough. You

A file is sparse if it has unallocated blocks (holes). The reported size of

such files are always higher than the disk space consumed by them. The
