Computer can not boot from CD.
Most computer defaults its BIOS settings to boot from hard disk directly. If computer can not boot from CD, please check the BIOS to ensure the first boot device is your CD or DVD rom. Then insert PCDiskClone CD, reboot computer. You will see the text "Press any keys to boot from CD....". Do the instruction, then PCDiskClone starts.

I found no data in my destination disk. Why?
There are several reasons:
a)The file system is not recognized by your operation system. For exmaple, when you copy ext2 file system to fat32, the destination drive will become an ext2 drive, which can not be recognized on Windows, unless suitable drivers has been installed on it. If it was, please install the corresponding driver to support it.
b) unstable voltage of removable hard drive leads to unstable copy of data. In this case, small files are generally fine, while large files are easy to lose data which cause the file in defective state. (Recommendation: contact the hard drive manufactory)

Why the clone speed went down at some point in the whole process?
PCDiskClone tries to recover data from badly damaged sectors to your destination disk. If your source disk has too many bad sectors, they will slow down the whole process, for the PCDiskClone do the job of recover data from bad sector as much as possible. If the whole process stoped and some point, we advise you check your hard disk sectors with some disk fixer software.

PCDiskClone can not list my hard drive and its partitions. Why?
There are several possible reasons:
a)If you are using removable disk, unstable voltage of removable hard drive leads to unstable copy of data. Software might miss recognize the disk or partition. (Recommendation: contact hard disk manufactory)
b)Too many bad sectors will also this problem. We advise you to fix bad sectors using MHDD software or so.

After I copy my whole disk to an larger new disk. It looks like the same size of the old one, why?
Cloning your smaller hard disk to a larger will leave you with a partition on the new hard disk the exact size of your old hard drive, with the rest of the drive left as unpartitioned space. This space can either be converted into a new partition for storage using Windows Partition utilities included with Windows Operating System or merged with the system partition using a program like Partition Magic.

The CD boots, but it stops with a message "isolinux: Disk error 20, AX = 4200, drive EF"
This is because computer can not read CD data correctly.
1. Please check the integrity of the download file.
2. Please check there are no dirty point or scar on CD before burning.
3. high speed of burning can also cause problems. Please set the speed to "4-6x" before re-burnning the ISO file.
