copying HD
Hello
what is the best way to copy an entire HD onto a new one? My current HD is running under XP and i would like the new HD to be identical and be able to boot from it right away, as i would remove the older one after copy. thanks. |

Ghost will make an exact duplicate and quite quickly.

Drive Image from PowerQuest is another program that can copy the contents of one drive to another.

If you get another hard drive from the same manufacturer, they may have a cloning utility that comes w/ it. Maxtor's "MaxBlast" comes to mind as an example.
I use Ghost for all other situations. Last edited by Dave22; 03-29-2003 at 06:55 AM. |

You can use the drive manufacturer's cloning utility from *either* manufacturer if you buy a different brand.
