. Only

ce drive has a 
boot record other than MBR, the entire disk will be copied as if Fast Co\
py were OFF. If 
the source drive is formatted with a Master Boot Record and contains onl\
y FAT32 or 
NTFS partitions, identical partitions will be created on the target(s)\

be copied. If the source drive with MBR format includes partitions other\
 than FAT32 or
