scott46ac Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 I just installed W7 on a new Corsair Force Series LS 60GB. I need to clone this drive 10x for our student lab. When I run the clone option, the program identifies two MBR's: one is about 100mb, the other is about 56GB. Do I clone both? If so, how? Thank you.

wytnyt Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 If toolbox is like the other cloners Ive used,it should do both drives since both are for the Os. A 60 drive is small so wouldn't take @ 15 minutes to clone/confirm... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott46ac Posted February 10, 2015 Author Share Posted February 10, 2015 wytnyt, how do you do both? I've never used a cloner. If I want to clone just one drive to one other drive, will the program know that the 2nd drive should have both MBR's ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wytnyt Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 With toolbox Im really not sure as I dont have Corsair drives but Id think it should do the partition also since your cloning the drive and the partition is part of the drive as mentioned,you can try it as it will but take a few minutes to do.

Administrators Technobeard Posted February 10, 2015 Administrators Share Posted February 10, 2015 http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/what-are-system-boot-partitions#1TC=windows-7 The system partition contains the hardware-related files and the Boot folder that tell a computer where to look to start Windows. By default, Windows 7 creates a separate system partition when it's installed from scratch (as opposed to upgraded from a previous version of Windows) on an unpartitioned hard drive. This partition is 100 MB in size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wytnyt Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Yes tho,the op wanted to know if he used toolbox to clone a drive,would it also clone the 100meg partition.Ive only used 3rd parties so I couldn't give a definite answer... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
