Cloning to Smaller Drive

Thread needs solution

Is there any way to change the destination drive setting on cloning to include ALL drives. I need to clone my source drive 2TB to a smaller drive 1TB. The smaller drives are greyed out when I try to set up the clone. Or is there a better way to get the smaller drive to be bootable with the original OS? Thanks

Kenneth, welcome to these user forums.

Any target drive will always be greyed out if these are too small to hold the data from the source drive.

Please see sticky post: 128231: [IMPORTANT] CLONING - How NOT to do this!!! about cloning do's and don'ts.

In particular do not do this from within the Windows ATIH GUI application.
