How to do Capacity Clipping on Seagate SCSI Disk

April 7th, 2014, 11:25

Dear Gurus'

I want to do capacity clipping on 300GB (ST3300007LW) Hard Drive and want to use it as 36.4GB Disk.
How can I do that?
Is it possible through cloning already clipped drive to the one that is not clipped?
Thank you.

If you are talking about partition size, yes cloning will do; but, there are easier ways.

But, if you are talking about total disk size, you might have to read about HPA or DCO. Make sure that your data is backed up.
