[ambientscape]

Hi! guys....! I wanted to get a new hard disk and would like to copy everything from my old HDD to my new one including my OS. I want the settings everything be the same in my new HDD.........any of the software can do it, or I just copy straight away?

Thanks

Are you talking about cloning? Acronis True image. Click the HD clone link below. You can put the old image on the new drive via a usb or firewire enclosure.

Just wanted to make sure Pretty much all the information and software you'll need is in the clone thread, you'll just have to provide the enclosure and drive. I use a firewire enclosure i picked up for around $20, a pcmcia firewire card $12 and (unfortunately I had to get a power source as the enclosure did not come with that.

Using the automatic selection in acronis is the easiest for straight up copying of an old drive.

I think I will use my Ultrabay 2000 HDD Adaptor. I think that will do the trick thou...

Using Acronis, I've made a spare boot drive for all my computers. It costs a few bucks, not too much, and you'll get your investment back when your boot drive dies or you install that software that kills it or you have a virus or spyware incident. Either replace the dead drive or reverse clone it from your spare.
