Currently, XXCLONE supports only a hard disk with the
"standard" disk partitioning scheme. If you use a
disk that is partitioned with PowerQuest's Partition Magic
or BootMagic, you may have a proprietary partitions that
are not documented by Microsoft's publications.

If this is the case, please read the following section.
Otherwise, we have to examine your hard disk more carefully.
(we may have to send you a special tool to extract a
few key sectors on the disk and analyze the data --- but
we are currently too busy to do so).
In essence, if XXCLONE cannot detect a valid partition
on a disk, it cannot proceed.

We plan to support some PowerQuest's popular schemes
in the future.

If that is the case, my suggestion is

Just don't make your life complicated using non standard
format. If you want to use PowerQuest's product, ask
them the question and stick to their product to do the
cloning (e.g., Partition Magic, DriveImage ... whatever
but we are not very knowledgeable about their products).
