| | Disk cloning - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | A disk cloning program is most commonly used by large companies to provision new computers, by a computer manufacturer to install the initial package of the operating system and applications for sale, or by a training or educational institute to refresh the software on the computers used by a class. | | | Disk Cloning is a category of software which copies the contents of one computer hard disk to another. | | | A disk cloning program needs to be able to read even protected operating system files on the source disk, and must guarantee that the system is in a consistent state at the time of reading. |

| | Disk cloning technology for the overburdened IT Professional |
| | Disk cloning is also an effective way of stopping a virus dead in its tracks before it spreads throughout the campus in addition to removing other unauthorized software and files from computer systems. | | | Disk cloning has come a long way since the early days of DOS when a manager would use the XCOPY command to move entire directory trees from one computer to another. | | | Disk cloning software works by creating an exact image of a PC’s hard drive, effectively taking a "snapshot" of all the files-both hidden and visible-that make up the operating system, applications, and configuration settings. |

| | The hard disk and partition imaging software take a snapshot of your hard disk so that you can restore your system at a later time to the exact same state the system was when you imaged the disk or partition. | | | Hard disk imaging software are sometimes also used to clone a hard disk to another (useful for the times you change or upgrade your hard disk). | | | The program creates a bootable floppy disk containing the software. |

| | Many disk cloning software packages allow for a disk image to be stored on another type of media such as magnetic tape, DVD-R, CDR/RW, or kept in a central location to be cloned to many computers via a network. | | | While this method is incredibly useful for moving your WindowsXP installation around to different disks on the same computer, it can also be used to move WindowsXP to a new computer with a different configuration if you are upgrading the entire box from say a Intel Pentium III to a Pentium 4. | | | A common problem is how to clone your installed WindowsXP and move it to a new hard drive on the same computer. |

| | The disk cloning feature is designed with troubled disks in mind; it will not give up because time-outs occur or because sectors are 'bad'. | | | Disk editing (or 'patching') is the process of directly altering the disk's contents. | | | If a sector can not be read, intelligent algorithms will determine if it is useful to re-read the sector or if it is better to just move on and save time; with some types of errors it's almost certain that the data in the sector that can not be read is lost. |

| | Cloning the Win9x system disk using XXCOPY |
| | System Disk Cloning: Say, you bought a hard disk with an astronomical number of bytes (at least, it seems that way for now), and you want to install your new drive as your system disk (Drive C:). | | | Since the XXCOPY /CLONE procedure copies these system files anyway (provided that the source volume contains these files), it is redundant to run "FORMAT D:" with the /S switch when you initialize the new hard disk (it does not hurt though). | | | This is due to the fact that the DOS environment cannot handle a pathname which exceeds the 80 character limit. |

| | Putting an image from a small disk on a big disk works, putting an image from a big disk to a small disk is likely to cause problems. | | | This freeware program can erase your disk in a safe way, but it can also be told to just write a pattern of all-0-bits to the disk. | | | But there is an easy way to circumvent the problem: use the native operating system's understanding (and implementation) of the filesystem, and make sure it prepares empty/unused blocks in a way so they don't contain random garbage data but values which can be compressed easily by g4u, thus resulting in small image sizes. |
