Hello,
I'm having a little trouble understanding the descriptions in the help of for those to Options.
Scale to target: This means, that if i have a 100 GB original drive, that i image. Then i restore this image to a drive of 200GB than EVERY SINGLE partition on this drive is beeing doubled right?
Scale to fit: what does this really do sorry don't get it?
But what i would be looking for is an Option which allows me to chose during restore for every partition how large i want to have it (wasn't this the advantage of making a full drive image?) where do i do this?
Thanks!

Re: Scale to fit vs. Scale to target
I really can't answer the question asked. Do you have BIBM? What I'd probably do is restore the partitions one at a time and after restoring each one, use BIBM to resize it before restoring the next. There very well may be a better way that I don't know anything about.

Hi Bob,
just to be clear: i meant to make an image with ifw, then restore it.

Re: Scale to fit vs. Scale to target
You would need to restore each partition separately. They can be resized as part of the restore.
When you restore the entire disk image the partitions are resized automatically if one of the scale options is used. You can set a limit to not scale small partitions, but you can't specify different sizes for individual partitions.
"Scale to Target" takes into account unallocated space at the end of the source disk. Normally, you would use the "Scale to Fit" option to fill the destination disk.

Re: Scale to fit vs. Scale to target
Scale to target is based on the new size of the drive - unpartitioned areas
would double in your example too.
Sale to fit attempts to use the entire drive.
