Cloning An Encrypted Drive - Technibble Forums

Cloning An Encrypted Drive - Technibble Forums:

'via Blog this'


Here is my lazy guide, it worked for me.


1) need internal HD and enclosure case to give USB connection
blank CD, to be used to run cloning program.

2) Download free disk clone software
easeus.com/disk-copy/
EASEUS Disk Copy
I use "Disk Copy" to clone not "TODO"

Sector by sector copy: Makes physical 1:1 copies (clones) of hard disks and partitions which ensure 100% identity to the original.

Anyway, download this software, it will be saved as dc.zip
when you unzip it, you get dc.iso and a readme file, extract and save.
The next step is to burn this dc.iso to a blank CD

3) to burn a iso image to CD
Download and install ImgBurn 2.5.0.0
filehippo.com/download_imgburn/
Run ImgBurn, and burn dc.iso to the CD

4) connect new USB drive, insert CD, and reboot the PC.
click disk copy
it is a very slow program to load, just be patient.
The actual cloning takes me about 1 hour for 75GB.

If you clone to a bigger disk, the extra space will be un-formatted,
and not encrypted.
