During installation, the Windows 7 operating system creates a hidden partition where it writes system files and recovery information. The hidden section is not available for viewing by standard Windows tools, and therefore for copying. In order to copy a hidden section, you need to use a special program. For example, you can use Acronis Disk Director.
Necessary
- - computer;
- - the Internet;
- - Acronis Disk Director program.
Instructions
Step 1
Download the program to the computer memory and install. The distribution kit of the program is available at https://www.acronis.ru. The program is paid, so you will have a limited amount of time for review, which will be enough to complete the task. If you later need this program, you can purchase a license on the manufacturer's official website. It should also be borne in mind that there are other software from this company
Step 2
In the main window of the program, select the partition of the hard drive that you need to copy. Acronis Disk Director will display the complete structure of the hard disk, including hidden partitions. Click the Copy Volume button. Specify the type of the partition to be created (the program selected the same as the original one) and its size. Click the "Finish" button to complete the preparatory phase. To start the copying process, confirm the operation.
