I see where Macrium has a wizard that lets you do that kind of thing when cloning. If not, then the cloning software probably resized the last partition larger and updated the partition table to reflect that change. Now back to trying to find why my 2002 Jaguar x308 won't start.ĭid the target drive (larger than the original) end up with unallocated (unpartitioned) space on it at the end? I will watch this closely in making regular clones (as W7 backups). It is only a couple apps that were affected.
In my case the the cloned W7 HDD boots up fine. I tried finding how apps may be affected, no joy Seems to me that disk signature collision affects booting of the OS. However, on the off chance you attach a cloned disk to a Windows system that has a disk with the same signature, you will suffer the consequences of disk signature collision, which renders unbootable any of the disk’s installations of Windows Vista and newer. This signature dates back to Windows NT 3.5 in the mid 1990s and was then referred to as the Fault Tolerance Signature because its primary purpose was to help a booting or booted operating system uniquely identify individual hard drives in a fault tolerant dynamic disk raid configuration. The Disk Signature is a unique ID number that Windows writes to a specific location inside the Master Boot Record ( MBR) on the first sector of every hard drive that it sees. This article is for those who have received an error message from Windows 7 saying "This disk is offline because it has a signature collision with another disk". Yes, that is what my life has been missing, not knowing about disk signature collision!!! Sooo, I googled "disk signature" and found a lot about "disk signature collision".
