5In the Destination Partition dialog box, select the destination partition. Select an existing partition carefully as this is the partition that is overwritten.

The Destination Partition dialog box shows the details of all of the partitions on the selected destination disk. If this is a local partition-to-partition copy, then the source partition is unavailable for selection. However, you can create a new partition if space is available. If you create a new partition, it can be resized during the cloning operation.

6Click OK.

When the final “Proceed with Partition Copy?” question appears, ensure that the correct options are selected.

This is the last chance to back out.

7Do one of the following:

Click Yes to proceed with the partition copy.

If you need to abort the process, press Ctrl+C, but be aware that this leaves the destination disk in an unknown state.

Warning: Only click Yes if you are sure that you want to proceed. The destination partition is completely overwritten with no chance of recovering any data.

Click No to return to the menu.

8Restart the destination computer when the partition copy is complete.

Run Symantec Disk Doctor, ScanDisk, or a similar utility to verify the integrity of the destination partition.
