Guest Paulo Posted August 28, 2007 Posted August 28, 2007 Hi, if I buy a bigger hd, how can I transfer the old to the new one without formating and reinstaling from zero? Do u know / suggest any utilities? softwares? Thanks a lot!
Guest DL Posted August 28, 2007 Posted August 28, 2007 Re: New HD Usually the hd manu has a free utility on their site, generally they work OK providing you follow the instructions, though there are some that have problems if they have MS Office installed. Otherwise a paid for utility would be eg True Image, there are others "Paulo" <prbspfc@uol.com.br> wrote in message news:egl2gba6HHA.4252@TK2MSFTNGP05.phx.gbl... > Hi, if I buy a bigger hd, how can I transfer the old to the new one > without formating and reinstaling from zero?

Guest Bob I Posted August 28, 2007 Posted August 28, 2007 Re: New HD Use the clone software and instructions that come with the new drive.

Guest JCO Posted August 28, 2007 Posted August 28, 2007 Re: New HD By far the best software that I've used is Acronis TrueImage (Acronis Disk Administrator may also be of use). The software is easy to use but the process can be bit tricky. This product will let you clone your existing drive to the new drive. Or you can create an image of the old drive, then restore it to the new drive.
