Disk Director 12 and GPT Windows Boot Disk

Thread needs solution

I tried to clone a Windows 7 GPT boot disk to a smaller SSD MBR disk but DD didn't give me the option.

Can DD 12 clone a GPT disk to a MBR disk or must I use some other procedure or utility?

Nope. You can never go from GPT to MBR, only the other way around. However, Cloning typically is for exact hardware as well. I'm not real familiar with DD12 but it's a few years old now and even True Image has clone limitations with different sector size disks.

I'd try taking a backup and restoring instead. That should result in a MBR formatted ssd if the original iOS was MBR to begin with.
