Clone a single partition - Here's how

If you want to clone a single partition on your computer, all you need is the right software. We show you how and with what it works.

Easeus Partition Master: Clone hard disk partition

1. Download the free "Easeus Partition Master" and install it. Deselect the additional programs offered during the installation.
2. Start the tool, select the desired partition in the middle and choose the "Copy partition" option on the left.
3. You can now copy the partition to an existing partition or at the same time create a new partition with the copy.

DriveImage XML: Clone a single hard drive

1. The free tool "DriveImage XML" is not so visually designed, but it can not only clone your partitions, but also save them in a single file.
2. If you select the "Drive to Drive" option at the bottom left, you can transfer the desired partition to another partition.
3. With the option "Backup" you create an image file of your partition. The frozen system can be saved and restored at a later time or on another computer.
4. "DriveImage XML" also creates the copies from the Windows system during operation. A restart is not necessary with this software.

If you want to back up your entire system, you should create a recovery partition.
