I have two, respective image files of two physical disks, each of which contains one active NTFS partition. I'd like to copy the two partitions to one physical drive, so that I end up with two volumes on the one target. So, I think I could do this by customzing the partition table directly on the target disk, but it seems laborious. Then, I thought about the luxury of templates. I'd have to read up on using templates, and I don't expect the forum to supplant the manual. However, I can always restore the images to separate drives, so if my plan is folly, or there's a better way (or reference to one), please tell me. Thanks. | ||

Very easy, disk editing not necessary: In Windows disk management you create two partitions on that target disk with exactly the right sizes or a bit larger. Then you open both the first source partition and the first target partition in WinHex or X-Ways Forensics. Now in Tools | Disk Tools | Clone Disk you can select the source partition as the source and the target partition as the target. And then you repeat the above for the second partition. If the respective target is slightly larger than the source, that does no harm (at least not if the target disk was wiped before so that there can be no doubt about the origin of any non-zero data in the volume slack). | ||
