The % of Disk option can be used to copy any non-FAT operating system. It is recommended to use target drives having the same drive geometry as the master drive. If different geometry target drives are used, it may produce invalid target drives. If the system detects that the target drives have a different size then that of the master, then it will only copy up the capacity of the smallest drive. The partition table of the master drive will be copied without modification to the target drive. This will result in loss of drive space if the target is larger than the master. If the master drive is a 512MB drive and the target is a 1GB drive, the target s drive geometry will match those of the 512MB drive. The 1GB drive will be seen as a 512GB drive by the operating system. The % setting can be adjusted between 0% and 100%, to reduce the copy time necessary when using the % of Disk option.
