ABSTRACT:
Method, apparatus and program are provided for replicating an image of a source hard disk (22) onto a larger destination hard disk (22') in a manner that renders available the non-image-utilized sectors of the destination hard disk. Destination disk address dimensions are obtained from a drive (24') which handles the destination hard disk. Both source disk address dimensions and an image of sectors stored on the source disk are obtained from a temporary storage media (84). The image of the source disk is recorded on the destination disk (22'), but address values stored in the sectors of the image are adjusted to be based on the destination disk address dimensions rather than the source disk address dimensions.
