This mode is the fastest but will only support the following formats: DOS®, WIN98®, WIN2K®, WINNT®, WINXP®, LINUX® (EXT1, EXT2, EXT3). *Kanguru Solutions strongly recommends using Master and Target drives of the same capacity. Resize Copy ­ this mode is used to clone Master and Target drives with different capacities. This mode only copies the sectors with information and skips the blank sectors. This mode is faster than Disk Copy, but slower than Brief copy because it needs a little time to calculate the capacity difference between the Master and Target drives. *You can only use two different capacities of Master and Target drives.
