I can't specify sector number in Clone Disk! (Details inside)

When I try to clone disk from a volume to another, and both larger than 2TB(about 2.73TB actually), because some reason(partition recovery in GUID Partition Table) I need to specify different start sector number both source and destination, but I can't input a number bigger than 4,294,967,295(equals FFFFFFFF in hex)! and I need to copy 5,859,962,879 sectors! What can I do now?

This is why I need to do this:
I used clean command in diskpart with wrong disk, and my partition gone. At first I tried to edit GUID Partition Table manually, I edited both Primary and Secondary Table and corrected the checksum in GPT, and Winhex recognized that partition and successfully transversed it but Windows don't, I can see recovered partition in neither diskpart nor diskmgmt.msc even I reboot! Looks like M$ stored partition info somewhere else outside GPT. Last hope is copy all sectors within that partition to new HDD which Windows can recognize partition, and I got the problem explained above...

and oh, I lost whole original partition table when I doing some experiment.

Somebody help me please, I don't want to lost nearly 3TB of data.

I will check this and probably remove that limitation.

What kind of license do you have? Only with the full version you can copy/write disk sectors.

I don't know, I heard this software and downloaded it somewhere and I can access this function directly.
it never asked me about license.
If I'm using pirated version I feel so sorry.
I'll check it and if you tell me it is a pirated version I'll delete it immediately and try to buy a license.
I use this software rarely but it helped me so much.

This is the first time I use this software with volume larger than 2TB.

The aforementioned limitation will be removed in v15.4 SR-2 and later.

Please download the software from our web site at http://www.x-ways.net/winhex.zip and extract or install it to a fresh, new directory.
