1 question. if i clone my hard drive to an external hard drive, removed my internal hard drive and replaced it with my external hard drive (after removing its shell)(i would use the same sata port on my motherboard) would the new hard drive be the 'c' drive?
@Rightpath77 No, cloning a drive does more than simply cut/paste your files. It does the Operating System, all of your settings, your password to login and all. It copies everything bit-for-bit from the original hard drive to another one.
If successful, you should only have to clone the drive then you're free to melt your old one and boot up from the new one and continue as usual. It's great to have for virus recovery and stuff, its an alternative to reinstalling Windows each time
Quite useful, I do Have a Question though, I want to kno If instead of doing a clone to a hard drive could I BURN it to a DVD (like an ISO) That way if I have a major prob I could git a new hard drive (formatted) pop the disk in install it pop out the disk an be done...

If anyone kno's where to git free software to do it let me kno plez.... I don't want to spend another mint fixing my pc... Like I wuz screwed out of fixing it this tym...
Careful with that external "My Book" son! Mine flapped on its side and broke with-in 9 months of purchase. £120 and a terabyte of data down the shiter. I was in the process of trying to secure my data by buying up an internal terabyte drive but two days before it arrived BOOM! took 3 solid days to scan recovery & 5 in total to bring 700GB back down :L. (NTFS GetDataBack) Dam their nice drives but a bad idea.
Dude, thanks a lot! This really clears up a lot info. Looks pretty simple and a bonus that you can use the free trial offer first! I used to think that when using windows back up that you actually backed up everything including programs. Boy was i wrong! xD What a scam! Ah well, guess we are always learning something new everyday. Thanks for posting this helpful video!
