There is absolutely no reason why the source drive content would be damaged due to a copy or backup. Also, Raw Copy always requires a system restart. There's really no reason to use this unless you encounter problems with a normal copy, possibly due to un-fixable drive errors or cross-linked files, or if you wish to copy a drive that uses a file system that Drive Backup does not support. Also, when you use Raw Processing you cannot resize the partitions during the copy (cannot grow to larger drive size), and every sector is treated as used space (raw copy of 80GB = 80GB processed). Using HDD Raw Processing will not cause damage to your system it simply does a normal copy. If you wish to do a raw or 1:1 copy, please enable 'Partition Raw Processing' instead it will work just the same. (Please confirm).įirst, I should mention that HDD Raw Processing is not working currently. The original drive that you copied from (160) boots to a black screen with a blinking cursor. As Tommy mentioned this typically indicates that the driver for the boot device is missing, corrupt, or mismatched. The drive you copied to (500GB) begins booting to XP but crashes with a stop error of 0x0000007B. It seems you have two different issues at hand.
