Hi, I want to upgrade my CF card and store all my original data in a larger space. My friend suggested me clone the old Compact Flash, but didn't say exactly how to do it. Do you have any good suggestions or recommendations for good products to use?

Hello! Although I don't know what computer system you are using, currently, neither Windows nor Mac has a built-in cloning program or software with advanced cloning features. So, to clone a bootable CF card, you first need to choose a trusted professional cloning tool. And I would recommend EaseUS Disk Copy for you.

EaseUS Disk Copy is the best disk and partition cloning software for Windows in the market today. While satisfying users' daily cloning needs, it has rich and powerful features to help them solve more difficult cloning problems, such as system migration, hard drive upgrades, cloning hard drives with bad sectors, etc.

When your goal is to upgrade to a bootable Compact Flash card, EaseUS Disk Copy will definitely come in handy. However, you need to prepare more than that. To complete CF card cloning successfully, you need to do all the following preparations:

  • 1. Be ready to have a CF card with a higher capacity.
  • 2. Prepare two CF card readers
  • 3. If there is data in the new CF card, make sure to backup this data before the cloning starts
  • 4. Download EaseUS Disk Copy or other professional cloning software

After you confirm that you can start cloning your bootable CF card, please follow the steps below carefully.

Step 1. Run EaseUS Disk Copy. Choose "Disk Mode" and select the CF card that you want to clone. Then hit Next.

Step 2. Select the new CF card as the destination disk

Step 3. Erase data on the new Compact Flash card, and check/edit the disk layout.

Step 4. Last, hit the Proceed button, then the cloning process will begin.
