    Prepairing HDD for cloning

    Made a dban and converted the empty drive to a base-drive from dynamic which was default on winxp.
    now its unassociated.
    Do i have to set a partition and format first before using for cloning?

    The cloning will take care of it. But you can slave it in do it in disc management.

    New drive, I have gotten so I do a clean install and set the partition size at that time.
    And as I have my programs burned to cd, I install them. But as I have multiple PCs and laptops, time is not that important sometimes.

    So after DBAN direct cloning, right. the drive i am actually working was the orginal one which had the overlapping-problem but i messed it up completely. must then work from the "copy" to save data from a different clone than i mentioned here.
