By Running DiskPatch, you can fix the problems such as such as destructed MBR (Master Boot Record), corrupt partition tables, accidentally deleted partitions, corrupt boot sectors, and 'bad' sectors by yourself. DiskPatch automatically repairs damaged, corrupt or missing partition tables and boot sectors. It is Fast, Simple, Safe.
To make recovery from future disasters easier in the future, DiskPatch allows you to back up important disk structures for example: the MBR, partition tables and boot sectors.

| How to Clone Disk with DiskPatch |
|
| Situation: disk has read problems, we need to recover data from the problem disk without making the situation worse |
| Symptoms: N/A |
| Solution: clone the disk (copy everything from the problem disk to a fresh disk. Cloning happens on a sector-by-sector basis) |
|
Start DiskPatch and select the disk. |
 |
| |
 |
| |
| After selecting the disk, the menu will expand, showing actions that can be performed for the selected disk.
The selected disk will be marked in high intensity blue in the disk list (For example: disk 0 in following screen).
The disk we just selected will be the 'source' disk for the cloning operation. |
 |
| |
| Now select 'Disk related tasks', then 'Clone'. |
 |
| |
| You must now select the target disk for the clone operation. In this example, select disk 1. Obviously, whatever's on disk 1 will be overwritten with the contents of disk 0 (the disk which are cloning). After having selected the target disk, you must select the type of clone operation: |
 |
| |
| For now, select '2 pass (full)'. This option will always copy as much as possible, with the emphasis on accuracy. As such it's always a good choice, but may take a while to complete. |
|
| You must now select the range of sectors that need to be cloned. If you need to clone only a small portion of the disk, enter the correct numbers here. Leave the suggested values for now, which will clone the entire disk (recommended). |
|
| |
 |
| |
| Next, a confirmation screen is displayed. Select 'Yes' to start the clone process. |
 |
| |
| During the cloning a progress screen is displayed: |
 |
| |
| If needed, the clone can be aborted by pressing <Escape>. Time remaining can fluctuate if bad areas are encountered.
When pass 1 has been completed (remember, the 2 pass clone was selected), the following screen will be displayed: |
 |
Pass 2 will start automatically, if it is needed, so you can leave DiskPatch to do it's business; you don't have to keep a constant eye on the clone process. Wait for pass 2 to start automatically, or press <Escape> to abort now. Press any key to skip the wait and start pass 2.
In this case pass 2 is not needed (no bad sectors were encountered during pass 1, so no areas were skipped) as is displayed in the following screen: |
 |
If pass 2 is needed, it will display a progress screen similar to the progress screen of pass 1.
The clone is now complete, press any key to return to the menu. |
