Cloning full HDD with system as a partition of other HDD
I have two HDD drives - on C:\ (whole Hitachi HDS721050CLA362 (465 Gb) without partitions) is Windows 8.1 x64 with a bit of installed programs, on D:\ (whole WDC WD1003FBYZ-010FB0 (931 Gb) without partitions) I store films, music and other necessary for me files.
To clone my C:\ partition I need to do these steps:
1) Cut approx. 200 Gb on WDC WD1003FBYZ-010FB0
2) Delete new F:\ partition to make 200 Gb marked as 'Unallocated'
3) Select my C:\ and make copy to these unallocated space (it will be non-bootable)
4) Then I remove Hitachi from my computer and boot from Acronis bootable flash drive
5) Make new partition with copied system & files 'Active' and attach C:\ drive letter for partition
I read, I also needs if necessary to do bootrec.exe /FixMBR, bootrec.exe /FixBoot, bootrec.exe /RebuildBCD or bcdboot.exe c:\windows
Is these steps are correct (without any lost of my files)?
