2 Fields of application
HLC|one |s spec|a||zed on creat|ng pnys|ca| cop|es. Tnerefore HLC|one offers part|cu|ar ad
vantages for copy|ng resp. rescu|ng defect|ve med|a (2,2 4ata rescue). ln add|t|on, HLC|one
|s ab|e to work |ndependent from part|t|on|ng scneme, f||e system and operat|ng system. Tn|s
a||ows to copy ent|re operat|ng system |nsta||at|ons (2,1 5pgrading hard dis+s 6 migrating an
OS) or to be ab|e to create an exact copy |n case of unknown/propr|etary f||e systems (2,6
Proprietar1 hard dis+ formats). A|togetner, HLC|one covers a w|de spectrum of poss|b|e app||c
at|ons by |ts un|versa| copy|ng tecnno|ogy. ln tne fo||ow|ng you f|nd descr|pt|ons of tne most
common areas of app||cat|on of HLC|one. Tne |nd|v|dua| cnapters conta|n |nstruct|ons as we||
as furtner adv|ce regard|ng accomp||snment of tne respect|ve app||cat|on.
&ip* HLC|one a||ows you to copy data arb|trar||y between a|| recogn|zed types of med|a, par
t|cu|ar|y between d|fferent types of dr|ves etc.
2.1 !p"radin" hard dis#s $ %i"ratin" an &'
S|nce HLC|one works |ndependent of f||e system formats and operat|ng systems, you can use
|t to m|grate ent|re |nsta||at|ons, |nc|. tne |nsta||ed operat|ng system, to anotner nard d|sk. Tn|s |s
espec|a||y usefu| |f you want to m|grate an ex|st|ng |nsta||at|on to a new nard d|sk w|tnout nav
|ng to |nsta|| tne operat|ng system and app||cat|ons once aga|n. Tne med|a used as target
snou|d be of tne same s|ze as tne source med|a or |arger to ensure tnat a|| data w||| be cop|ed.
lor tn|s type of app||cat|on you can ut|||ze botn modes, 6,1,4 4ri7e/to/dri7e as we|| as
6,1,5 Partition/to/partition.
)ote* P|ease take abso|ute care to nave on|y one of tne two nard d|sks connected after com
p|et|on of tne copy|ng process and before start|ng tne operat|ng system. lt snou|d be connec
ted to tne same cnanne| as tne or|g|na| nard d|sk, |.e. e|tner remove tne med|um w|tn tne
copy on |t or connect |t |nstead of tne or|g|na| med|um.
2.1.1 !nused dis# space
Add|t|ona| d|sk space on tne med|um used as target can be converted |nto a part|t|on us|ng tne
part|t|on|ng program fd|sk or tne Computer Management program
(089:I;4O:S9s1stem329compmgmt,msc) of v|ndows XP. lt can tnen be used as an add|
t|ona| v|rtua| dr|ve. You can a|so res|ze tne cop|ed part|t|on so tnat |t a|so uses tne extra d|sk
space of tne target med|um, but tn|s requ|res spec|a| too|s.
2.1.2 '%aller tar"et %ediu%
ln genera|, you can a|so copy a comp|ete |nsta||at|on from a |arger to a sma||er med|um. 8ut
tnen you snou|d f|rst downs|ze tne part|t|ons on tne source med|um w|tn tne ne|p of appropr|
ate too|s |n sucn a way tnat tney f|t comp|ete|y |nto tne target med|um and are |ocated at tne
beg|nn|ng of tne source med|um. lt poss|b|y works a|so |f you defragment tne source med|a |n
sucn a way tnat a|| used data |s s|tuated at tne beg|nn|ng of tne source med|um and tnat tne
area conta|n|ng tne used data does not use more d|sk space tnan |s ava||ab|e on tne target me

2.1 Lpgrad|ng nard d|sks & m|grat|ng an OS
d|um. Tn|s metnod |s not abso|ute|y re||ab|e, but as tne data on tne source med|um stays un
cnanged, |t maybe wortn an attempt.
2.2 Data rescue
ln case of nard d|sks w|tn defect|ve areas |t |s espec|a||y |mportant tnat tney are be|ng rescued
to an |ntact med|um before start|ng any recovery attempts. Otnerw|se, depend|ng on tne k|nd
of defect, tne recovery procedure may cause furtner defects resu|t|ng from tne |nnerent ex
posure of tn|s procedure. Of course, us|ng HLC|one a|so cases exposure for tne nard d|sk. 8ut
tne pnys|ca| copy|ng causes mucn |ess exposure tnan any otner usage due to |ts ||near opera
t|on, |.e. on|y cont|nuous movement of tne d|sks neads. lurtnermore, tne opt|on SafePescue
(5,",3 <eneral options) |s ab|e to reduce exposure to an abso|ute m|n|mum. ln very cr|t|ca|
cases, you can a|so |ust copy s|ng|e part|t|ons to reduce exposure for tne med|um even more
(6,1,5 Partition/to/partition). After nav|ng rescued tne data from tne defect|ve nard d|sk, you
can perform a recovery on tne (funct|ona|) target med|um w|tnout nav|ng to fear any furtner
damages.
)ote* On|y a pnys|ca| copy a||ows to rescue a|| of tne data, except tne |rrecoverab|e areas,
even |f tnere are |og|ca| errors resu|t|ng from defect|ve areas. Tne |og|ca| errors can be correc
ted |n most cases by tne recovery, but m|ss|ng data cou|d not be restored. Hence, tne data
snou|d be cop|ed to a target med|um of tne same s|ze or a |arger target med|um |n e|tner
case (6,2 Si=e differences). lor tn|s reason, a|so ne.er use tne SmartCopy mode (6,6
Smart0op1) for rescu|ng data.
&ip* lf you do not nave an appropr|ate unused nard d|sk at nand for an urgent rescue, you
can temporar||y save tne damaged nard d|sk to a part|t|on of tne appropr|ate s|ze on tne tar
get d|sk. (6,1,6 4ri7e/to/partition) or on|y save certa|n part|t|ons from tne damaged nard
d|sk (6,1,5 Partition/to/partition).
2.3 Installation bac#up
HLC|one a|so prov|des tne poss|b|||ty to create a |oca| backup of an ent|re system |nsta||at|on. lf
requ|red, a s|mp|e restore from tne backup part|t|on br|ngs tne system |nsta||at|on back |nto |ts
or|g|na| state w|tnout any ba||ast, fau|ty program |nsta||at|ons, v|ruses etc. lor tn|s purpose,
create an unused part|t|on |n add|t|on to tne system part|t|on of at |east tne same s|ze to serve
as a backup part|t|on. After nav|ng f|n|sned system |nsta||at|on, copy tne system part|t|on to tne
backup part|t|on us|ng tne part|t|ontopart|t|on mode 6,1,5 Partition/to/partition, Tnen you
can restore tne or|g|na| system part|t|on at any t|me by mak|ng a copy |n tne oppos|te d|rec
t|on.
)ote* 8efore restor|ng from tne backup part|t|on, save your work f||es and otner data from
tne system part|t|on or store tnem on a tn|rd part|t|on from tne outset.
