Tips:
1. If the source disk contains the system partition, please shut down the computer after clone.
2. To make the computer boot normally, if the source disk contains boot partition, you need to remove either the source disk or destination disk from the computer. If you want to boot from the destination disk, we recommend you to replace the source disk with the destination disk. You'd better disconnect the destination hard disk and boot from the source disk, or replace the source disk with the destination one to boot.
3. If you choose to clone a hidden partition, the cloned one is unhidden.
4. If the temporary file path is the disk that you want to clone to, sector-by-sector clone cannot be achieved until the path is changed to another disk in the Option menu of EASEUS Todo Backup.
