Recloning

Thread needs solution

I cloned a 3 partition drive when recieved software. Now would like to clone again a year later but it shows source and destination drives as the same. Do I have to reformate the destination drive to get the correct desination drive letter which has the clone????
Thanks

Best to do the clone when booted from the TrueImage Recovery CD.
First part of the restore should be to use the "add new disk" option and delete all partitions and data on the target disk.
Target disk condition before cloning should be "unallocat ed".
Be very very careful to select the correct target disk.

Many of us regulars prefer not to clone but to do a full disk image and then restore the image onto the target disk. Same result as clone but the source disk is not at risk of a user 'wrong disk" selection error.

If interested in backup and restore, click link 3 below and select item 1 or 2.
If only interested in cloning, click link 1 below and look at the listings regarding cloning.
