Destination Partition Options

(Available only if unpartitioned disk space exists) Creates a new primary partition on the destination disk of the same size as the source partition. The Wizard creates it at the start of unallocated space. Note: You cannot create more than four (4) primary partitions on an MBR disk.

Creates a primary partition of the same size as the source partition in the disk's unpartitioned, unallocated space. The Wizard places the end of the new partition at the end of the unpartitioned space, then moves backwards to create a volume of the exact size as the original.

(Available only on MBR drives and only if unpartitioned disk space exists on the drive.) Creates a new extended partition on the destination drive. This partition can then be divided into one or more logical drives or partitions. This allows more than four partitions on an MBR drive.

Displays a list of available drives. Select one or more disks to initialize as an MBR disk. (Recovery Environment requires at least one initialized disk to restore the system/boot volume.) See Creating and Starting the Recovery Environment for details.

Displays a list of available drives. Select one or more disks to initialize as a GPT disk. (Recovery Environment requires at least one initialized disk to restore the system/boot volume.) See Creating and Starting the Recovery Environment for details.

Displays a list of available drives. Select one or more disks to initialize as either MBR or GPT. (Recovery Environment requires at least one initialized disk to restore the system/boot volume.) See Creating and Starting the Recovery Environment for details.

Creates a duplicate of a single partition at the same location as the original on the new drive.

Runs the Partition Policy Editor for changing partition alignment and offsets. For example, use the Editor for restoring a hard disk volume to an SSD for Windows system volumes prior to Vista.
