Thanks again. Understood.

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
