Re: Transfering vista

 

Any of the imaging solutions will let you "clone" a drive. Colin suggests

Acronis, and I have to say it's my favourite too. You connect the new drive

with the old drive still there, run Acronis, tell it to clone the original

drive. When it's done, you shut down, remove the original, and plug the

replacement in its place.

 

The only tricky part is remembering to change the jumpers from Slave to

Master if you're doing this with IDE drives. SATA not even that.

Re: Transfering vista

 

it is not unusual for the new drive to come with software to image the old drive to the new drive. no need to buy new one.

 

if not in the box, go to the manufacturers web site.

But they don't always work with Vista. WD's apparently does not.
