Copy a partition with EASEUS Partition Master

Partition/disk copy is to copy one partition/disk to another. This is essential for computer users who are upgrading to a new hard disk to another or perhaps replacing an older disk that is in the process of failing. However, the Microsoft Operating Systems lacks of a reliable, efficient mechanism for copying the entire contents of a hard disk/partition volume from one disk to another.

It was possible to just copy an entire partition/disk file-by-file in simply ways, like 'copy' and 'paste'. The file-by-file copy works fine as long as there are no problems with the file system on the original disk, otherwise, the copy progress will stop (for whatever reason, file system corruption say). And today, with long file names, the use of swap files and the Windows registry, it is no longer possible to safely copy a partition from one partition to another file-by-file. It enables you to copy files correctly, but it is a quite a different thing if you want to copy Operating System from one partition to another. Sector by sector copy is required.

One way to accomplish this task is to use a third-party partitioning program. To make users manage their partitions easily and maximize the performance of the computers, EASEUS releases its EASEUS Partition Master , with the new features of partition/disk copy. With its help, your hard drive can be easily and safely organized and it provides sector by sector partition/disk copy for users.

It is rather safe to use the copying utility of EASEUS Partition Master as it does not generally change any existing data, just copy 100% identity of the original to a new partition. Its physical copying causes much less exposure to the disk than any other usage due to its linear operation.

Partition copy is fairly simple, and pretty easy to use. Select the source partition on disk map; right click and use 'copy'; then EASEUS Partition Master will automatically check the source partition; after check, click Next to choose the destination partition; Click Next; finish. Finally apply these operations. Then your source partition is successfully copied.

Added a new attractive function - Partition/disk copy, and with its powerful functions unchanged, such as resizing and moving partitions, create and deleted partitions, format partitions, hide and unhide partitions, etc, EASEUS Partition Master did not increase in price. As to its Server Edition, another new feature is to support Windows Server 2008.

This method helps you copy the partition or whole hard disk to another one, if you want to backup the partition or whole hard disk to an image archive, you may use another free backup software - EASEUS Todo Backup, which provides easy-to-use interface to backup and restore your system, disk and partition within minutes.
