Guess I'm not as smart as some, but TI gives me the option to image files or
the entire disk OR partition,and includes the boot info, which when
transferred to another drive, boots. Least it seems to work that way here.
Now if a process did something with just a file, that file couldn't boot
load the OS, could it? True Image certainly CAN *image* a partition
and put that partition on some archiving medium. Then it could be
told to take that image file and "restore" it to a formatted partition on
another HD that might have other partitions on it. But that wouldn't
be "cloning". That would be "imaging and restoring" - a 2-step
process which includes an intermediate medium on which to store the
image file. That is probably what you are doing, perhaps with the
intermediate medium being the file structure on the source hard drive.
Unless Acronis has neglected to update its User's Guide, True Image
cannot clone a lone partition unless that partition is the entirety of its
hard drive, and it cannot put that clone among other partitions on the
destination hard drive.
