Wild Wizard Also Is This A 'Destructive" Procedure, Meaning AFTER You Make The Copy/Clone Of The HDD It Will Be Gone And Need To Put On Another HDD Or SSD For Replacement ??? I Know Acronis Is ....

Just Found On The Purchase Page The 64 Bit Version :-) Thank You VERY Much !!

Does It Make An ISO File You Have To "Mount" Of Does It Actually Copy File By File Including Drivers O/S Etc.....So Its Just Copy And Re-Install And Everything Will Work The Same ( O/S = Win 8 64 Bit Home) ??
Thanks Again,
Blessings

Cooler Wild Wizard,
It will copy, so it's not destructive. For example, you can copy your OS drive to new blank drive and the new drive can act as instant replacement to your OS drive. Commonly this is used to copy old OS drive to larger/faster drive and the resulting new copy is exact functional copy of old. No ISO used, all drivers and settings are naturally copied over.

I used older PDC to copy my HDD to my first SSD and kept my old drive as backup for a while. Worked flawlessly, including re-aligment.

I already have this (v14), so I'll skip it this time.
Still, thanks for BDJ and Paragon!

Reason: No hard disk drive which exceeds the 2TB limit was found in the system." Well, what if I have a 3TB next week? What then? I have to partition it down below 2TB?

User Account An apparently knowledgeable user says above ".. the new drive can act as instant replacement to your OS drive."
Can Paragon describe what we have to do, if anything, when we have a computer with two active disks in it, both identical?
Is it safe? Is it workable? Does the program manage it?

Narful User Once downloaded, can these programs be installed at any point in the future, and still be registered, so long as they have never been installed before? In other words, can I wait until I decide I need a larger hard drive before I install and register it?

BrianS Not sure if the Compact version supports creating a virtual machine file. Says it does here, but website says it doesn't--only the Pro version supports this capability. This should be clarified.

Mr Dave I see the same error message as described by S.Imrick above: "Component GPT-Loader is currently hidden and not available for installation. Reason: No hard disk drive which exceeds the 2TB limit was found in the system."

I share the same concern, can I reinstall this later to get the missing component if I purchase a larger drive and want to copy it (or copy to it)? Does the 2TB limit refer to partitions or the entire disk drive?

Allan Winston Kevin, I was also wondering about the P2V capability. In the headline for today's promotion, it says "Easily Migrate Data to HDDs, SSDs, and Virtual Machines".
However, I did not see any P2V capability in the main menu. Furthermore, the Website link shows that the P2V capability is only in the Professional version and not in the Compact edition.

Sumpra User Copying from 1 Drive to another will be destructive if you chose to "clone" partitions with partition structure. I do not think that this kind of software is for simple copying anything, it is specially for cloning partitions and harddrives. So be careful and know what you do!

Cloning to virtual drives is something different, virtual drives are located either in memory or on another defined place, in most cases it is handled as a single file or directory, similar to compresion tools like ZIP.

The main difference between 32bit and 64bit version of the priogram is the program size which is nearly doubled.
64bit systems need 32bit or 64bit version, 32bit systems can run 32bit software only, don´t aske me why. :(

You can download both version from bitsdujour, look at the download location and replace 64 with 32 and vice versa.
You can not download it from Paragon! So if you get only the code it is useless without the proper version for installation!

Compact in the common for Paragon giveaways means, that there is no ISO for Windows boot-media included, only Linux based boot media is possible, if any.

M M Which version (Compact, Pro) do I need to copy disk encrypted by BitLocker to another disk (preferrably larger), if I cannot unlock it under Windows? I would connect it using USB or eSATA to another laptop with Windows 8.
I have the code to use the laptop and can also get recovery pin, but unlocking is blocked by admin.

Cooler User Account,
I don't know about knowledgeable, but I've been using products from Paragon for quite some time and I like them. Hopefully I understood you correctly and this answers you question:

Instant replacement, meaning you can take out old drive and replace with new (bigger/faster) and the system will work as with the old drive. New drive is not supposed to be used with old drive, but instead of it.

As far as I know, RAID (mirroring) would be only reason to use to identical drives. I never tried to set second drive to "None" in BIOS and keep using old drive to swap drives later via BIOS. Then again, I think RAID (mirroring ) would be better for that.

Cooler Sumpra User,
If you copy the partition structure to target drive, the data on target is naturally destroyed. After all, doing so overwrites the partition table of the target drive and the old partitioning would be lost.

So, to avoid confusion:
- Source drive data is not destroyed. Copy vs. move.
- Target drive is meant to be empty, I.E. new drive.
- Copying partition structure will destroy target data.

However, perhaps Paragon could confirm (or deny) that if target has unpartitioned space, you can copy partition without partition struture from anothe drive to it? It seems logical, but I've never tried it.

FinanceGuy I downloaded the software, but also received no registration code. Why are these individually re-sent to people who complain here, as it appears to be a universal problem? Anyway, after reading all the comments here reg. various problems with this application I am very tempted to not even attempt to install it and to look for an alternative. Too bad.

GPT Loader driver is not required in Vista+ system since there is native GPT support. It will be installed only in Windows XP.

2Me Show You, 2JT User, 2Ken Stecher
Sorry for inconvenience. If you have previous version of Drive Copy installed, please unistall it to avoid this error.

2User Account
If your disks are MBR, then PC will boot from the one selected as first boot device in BIOS and another one will be just a secondary disk with partitions. If GPT then PC will load from the one selected in EFI Boot Device list (Windows Boot Manager on Hard Disk # entry)

2S R
Yes, the clone will be bootable if boot configuration is not something specific (like Windows paritition on one HDD while System Reserved or another partition with boot files on another HDD)
