1283902	2012-06-25 22:10:00	If I have a 750GB HD which has 5 partitions and want to use say Paragon Drive Copy .... does the HD I copy to have to be the same physical size even if the 750GB's 5 partitions are only 50% full ... e.g. total of 350GB of data ? ... And do I have to Copy each individual partition as a separate drive ? TIA	SP8's (9836)

Some imaging programs can't resize and you can only image to the same or bigger sized hard drive.	CYaBro (73)
