Default Using Casper 5 disk-cloning program to clone multi-partitioned HDD

I am NOT talking about the case of cloning a source drive, which makes a
perfect clone of the source drive.

I *am* talking about partition copying, apparently called "Copy Drive" in
Casper. Like the case mentioned where the source drive partition size was
supposedly 27 GB *in capacity* and the destination drive partition was
supposedly 37 GB in capacity (and NOT the amount of DATA).

Both types of information (disk partition capacity and used data space) can
be determined by using Windows Explorer with a right mouse click on the
drive letter in windows explorer and reading the information there.

And presumably there ARE different folder AND subfolder dates of the folders
on the destination drive (which I am saying will all be date stamped with
the date the copy is made!). THAT is what specifically needs to be
checked.

UNLESS both the source and destination partitions are identical in SIZE
(meaning capacity) and all folder/subfolder datetime stamps, they are NOT
really identical.


YOU are a moron. A thick-skulled idiot. A fool. A buffoon. A
clown. Take your pick.

You apparently haven't even taken the time to look at the User Guide.

Go play with BING - or yourself. Whichever gives you the biggest
thrill. You have no credibility when it comes to talking about Casper
with people who own it and use it.
