I have a 2TB drive with 4 partitions [Windows System Reserved (1st), Windows (2nd), an EMBR partition (4th) from a product I once used for dual-boot (BootIT NG) but is still installed, and an extended partition (3rd) containing one partition]. There's a second 2TB drive in the system solely for backups and other junk.
I only back up the two Windows partitions and the EMBR since that's what loads upon boot and lets me pick the OS. I don't back up the partition residing in the extended partition.
I then created a boot CD, removed the first drive & replaced it with a new 500GB SSD.
When I tried to restore to a new 500GB SSD, at the screen where I select the partitions to copy, all three (two Windows, EMBR) are selected and I choose to copy to the SSD.
they're listed as follows:
MBR Disk 1 -- <1.82TB>
1- System Reserved (H:) -- NTFS Active 28.1MB/100.0MB
2- Win10 (C:) -- NTFS Primary 300.12GB/931.21GB
4- BOOTIT~1 -- 12-bit FAT Primary 2.8MB/5.0MB
Reflect copies only the Windows System Reserved & Windows partitions. It then pops up an error:
"Not all copied. Insufficient space."
below is output from a partition utility that may do a better job of explaining the disk layout than I can:
