Note
  • This is only an issue when the structure of the target disk for a restore or clone differs from the source. It does not concern disks used to store images/backup files.
  • There are no disks currently available that would cause this issue when connected directly (i.e. not via USB). However, some external disk enclosures are remapping the native disk structure to enable > 2TB disks to be used with Windows XP. See here

When restoring or cloning you may see the error message box below and be prevented from continuing with the operation:

 

The error indicates that the target disk has a larger sector size than the source or you are using a USB disk enclosure that is changing the reported sector size of the disk. This is not supported.

The table below shows compatible disks for the source and target of restore and clone operations:

 Source Sector Size
Target Sector Size Compatible
 512 or 512e 512 or 512e
