Universal Disk Cloner is a free and portable disk cloning, imaging, and wiping tool that works on Windows XP and newer (both 32 and 64-bit). It allows users to make precise copies of old disks onto new ones with ease.
Moreover, the program can wipe-out an entire disk with random data or zeros. It supports compression for saved image files and has the capability to protect saved image files with AES-256 encryption. Please note that this software does not work with partitions. Instead, it clones or wipes out entire physical disks.
Another remarkable feature is that the software clones disks regardless of the file system format. Therefore, you can clone disks with FAT32, NTFS, ReiserFS, XFS, JFS, EXT2/3/4, or any other file system you can think of. The program also supports unlimited size, and you can work with any device mapped to your system as fixed or removable that supports low-level disk access.
You can use any disk device such as USB flash disk, hard drive, SD card, virtual disk (VHD), and even some ram disks. The program also supports cloning all devices that support .PHYSICALDRIVEx access.
It is essential to note that this program is designed for advanced users, and its misuse can result in losing important data. Therefore, the author does not provide warranties of any kind, and the program is "as-is". For more information, read INFO.txt file and Disclaimer before using the software.
For optimal usage, the program recommends running it with administrator rights. Before selecting the source or destination disk, click on the refresh button. Also, the destination disk should be similar to the source disk or more significant (although not necessary, the result may not have any warranty). Ensure there is enough free space on the target partition or disk, especially if you are using a compressed image file.
