Primary HD Running Out of Space - Clone??

[Guest Sam]

A friend of mine has a Dell Dimension 8200 computer with windows XP Pro.

The primary HD (C:) is 40GB in size. He is just about out of space on this

HD. We were able to delete some items and move some data, but one program I

believe, has to keep its data on the primary HD. He asked me for my opinion

and I suggested that he purchase a new HD (Seagate 160 GB in size) and use a

Clone Program to make the transfer. I have used image programs for years

but never a clone program, other than reading about them. My thought would

be to make the transfer to the new HD with the clone program and then

install a good image program like the Symantec Backup Exec System Recovery

Program or the ShadowProtect Desktop Program.

 

 

Any suggestions as to recommended clone programs and were I could read about

cloning (web sites) would be very much appreciated. Thanks, Sam.

Acronis True Image, works good for that.

I avoid any product of symantec

just add the new

harddrive as a slave

and move all the

non-system files

onto it.

 

you can even right

click on "my documents"

and change it to the

new drive.

Be careful when providing such lists. MOST of the programs on those

lists are CRAP and don't help the folks you are replying to.

Or you could use Seagate Disk Wizard.

Seagate supply a clone utility on their site - just ensure you follow the

instructions ie shutdown on completion, remove origonal hd and set new as

master, *before* rebooting

And I thought this was a Windows XP newsgroup, not a name calling newsgroup.

 

That's what I get for trying to be helpful, unlike your response.

He is well known for his smartass remarks, and kneejerk reactions, always

knows it all, and talks down to others.
