Limitations
1. This software only supports the Windows operating systems listed in the User
Manual.
2. This software only supports the Samsung SSDs listed in the User Manual. OEM
storage devices provided through a computer manufacturer or supplied through
another channel are not supported.
3. This software will run only if the operating system is installed on the Source Disk. It
will not function on disks that lack an operating system installation.
4. If the amount of data stored on the Source Disk exceeds the capacity of the Target
Disk, cloning will not proceed. The Source Disk (e.g. “C:” drive) must consist of at
least 20% free space. If more than 80% of the Source Disk is filled with data, the
cloning process cannot proceed normally. Secondary partitions require at least 5
GB of free space.
5. On systems with two (2) drives or more (e.g. “C:”, “D:”, and “E:” drives) with the
operating system installed on the “C:” drive, only the first two drives will be cloned.
The “System” partition that is created during Windows installation is automatically
replicated.
6. OEM recovery partitions, generated at the factory by computer manufacturers,
cannot be replicated.
7. A difference of a few GB of data capacity between the Source and Target Disks is
normal after cloning. The software does not copy the files Windows automatically
generates to manage virtual memory (page files and hibernation files).
8. This software cannot clone encrypted disks. In order to clone an encrypted disk,
you must first remove the password from the disk.
9. If the mainboard chipset drivers are not up to date when cloning, this software may
not function properly.
10. If there are multiple operating systems installed on the PC (e.g. Windows 7 is
installed on the C drive and Windows 8 is installed on the D drive), the cloned disk
may not function properly.
11. If the Source Disk is damaged (e.g. the disk has bad sectors), the cloned disk
may not function properly.
12. When attempting to clone a disk using this software, it is recommended
that you close all other programs and free up sufficient memory before cloning.
