8. Cloning an existing system disk

This chapter describes a quick guide for cloning an existing Windows disk (source) to an encrypted Hiddn

SafeDisk. This description uses free open source applications publicly available. Several other tools exist and

can be used following the same principles as described below. Active@ Disk Image is a recommended

commercial product which is easy to use and can be used to both clone and resize in one operation.

8.1 Backup the entire source disk

The file system of the source disk will be resized in order to make if fit on the destination disk. All such

operations introduce a potential risk of data loss. Backup your entire source disk before proceeding.

8.2 Reduce the amount of data on the source disk

The source disk cannot contain more data than will fit on Hiddn SafeDisk, in this example, 119 GB. Note that by

using a larger capacity Hiddn SafeDisk this step reducing partition size might be skipped.

8.3 Reduce the partition size of the source disk

Open Windows Disk Management from Control Panel or by right clicking My Computer and selecting

"Manage...". Right click the partition you want to reduce and select "Shrink Volume..."

Then, enter the amount of MB to reduce the partition size with. In this example, a new total size of 118 GB is

selected to have some margin.
