Reflect is a software that is developed by Macrium that creates backup images and copy entire hard drive partitions into another, without affecting the data in the source drive.
In order to clone a disk, you must ensure that your computer has the target/destination disk that is installed in the computer. It is possible to delete and reconfigure any existing partitions or configure new partitions within Macrium Reflect, so there is no need to do this prior to the cloning process. However, in this tutorial, it is assumed that the new disk contains no partitions.
As well as cloning to a hard drive installed in your computer you can also clone your hard drive to a hard drive installed in a ‘USB hard drive Caddy’ using this as the Target/Destination. To boot your computer with the hard drive from the Caddy, the hard drive needs to be installed into your computer such as by using SATA.
There are some links at bottom of tutorial for further help with Cloning or Imaging.
In the following example, all partitions from a 2TB source disk are copied to a 127GB destination disk by clicking the 'Copy-selected partitions' link. Taking the 'Copy selected partition' option will always attempt to place the restored partition at the same offset as source.
Note: The same result occurs by clicking the 'Next' button with the 'Copy selected partitions when I click Next' option selected.
The error 'Not all partitions copied. Insufficient space' will displayed because of the following conditions:
In the case above, the first partition is copied successfully and shrunk from 149 GB to 127 GB (the size of the destination disk) but the second partition, which starts at offset 149 GB, cannot fit on the destination disk.
Note: The same error would occur if just a single partition were selected for restore and that partition starts at a position that is greater than the size of the destination disk. Taking the 'Copy selected partition' option will always attempt to place the restored partition at the same offset as source. In this case drag and drop the single partition to free space on the destination disk.
In this case, to overcome this problem it is necessary to copy the first partition, shrink it to make space for the second and finally drag and drop the second partition in the space now available.
