In case a computer does not have a disk cloning utility the following general steps are generally followed:

- A new partition of the disk is created.

- A file system is to created in each partition by formatting it.

- An operating system is then to be installed on these partition.

- Finally the device drivers and the applications that the user requires are to be installed.
