Thanks again. Understood.

When you copy the entire disk, R-Drive Image copies the entire disk, from Sector 0 to the last sector. It may omit some sectors reported as unused, if an appropriate option is selected. Sectors with drive's signature are obviously not unused.

The drive ID is stored in the MBR, so a copy of sector 0 should do the trick.

Huge thanks!

Yes. It is used by some OS and SW. So my target is to restore the disk even to this extent.

Restoring DriveId

Hello to everyone.
I've a question: is Sector-By-Sector option mandatory in order to be able to restore keeping the very same DriveId?

Thanks in advance
