I have 3 separate hard drives that I want to clone to one
USBEHD. The external drive is the size of the other 3 drives
put together so it is big enough. Do you know if the resizing
feature of Casper 4 will interfere with me backing up the 3
hard drives to the one external drive? I have the USBEHD
partitioned into the 3 sizes of the drives I am cloning.

Casper 4.0 will let you specify whether it should copy
the original partition size to the unallocated area, or fill the
entire unallocated area with the new partition, or fill the
unallocated space with a partition of the size that you designate.
You can download the User Guide at:

In my experience with Casper XP, you can even put the
clone in a smaller partition if the data in the original partition
will fit, i.e. Casper doesn't try to clone contiguous empty
area at the end of the original partition.
