Formatting destination drive

Is it necessary when periodically cloning to a destination drive that that drive be formatted each time prior? Thanks!

  • @Djc, Generally, you don't need to format the target drive in advance.
  • Would I still be able to boot up using that drive? I saw a
    msg pop up when I started to clone and then stopped and went back to formatting f it before proceeding. Tnx.
  • Screenshot.
  • @Djc, Please take screenshots so that we check the issue further.

    Thank you Djc for posting a screenshot. You have attached your screenshot as a file, instead of a photo. In the future, please attach the screenshot as a photo on the forum, so that everyone can see it without downloading it, thanks.
  • @Djc, It only is a prompt information. The clone operation will overwrite the disk. Please confirm that you select the correct destination disk.
  • @Djc, And, you can open windows disk management to check if the destination disk includes the "system" partition,
