Don't say who uses Floppy Drives any more, or you will show your stupidity about computers. There hundreds of reason why Floppy's are still used. For instance (example) if you need to repair WindowXP and require to load a driver, you can't load it without a Floppy.
One just can't clone a one HD to another and expect if to boot into Windows. I guarantee you will hang-up at the Welcome Window screen, very few succeed. There is a proper way, using proper programs.
and a little pc thats make like as a laptop i mean the hard drive is the same as the laptop harddrives but its windows xp and i want windows 7 on my little pc so if i delete the xp hardrive does it work or not?
I still use XP and IDE... sometimes it's not necessary to upgrade. I run my two favorite games CS and Project Reality just fine. Sometimes newer OS have trouble older games. Plus floppy disks are useful for checking RAM.
I am trying to clone my hard drive, which is size of 60gb, into a bigger hard drive of 320gb. i want to transfer every thing from operating system (windows xp) to all my programs.
@iGargasht With the MiniTool partition manager wizard, it is easy for you to delete partition, copy partition and other operations. Some editions are FREEEEE. Any of you who need it can have a try.
having said all that and being that this video is outdated , what do yo guys recommend ? i have a old computer also that runs on window xp with a pentium 4 and a 250gb hardrive . i need to clone it @ 10 times because it has a software on it that i use for party rentals ? how do i go about cloning the hardive over and over without having to rebuy the software each time ? thanks !
loaderperron@hotmail.com if you can help i will surely show some gratitude($) !!!!!
@bear62492 Download a free disk called Hiren's Boot CD, copy the image file to a CD, put it in your PC and reboot PC, make sure first boot device is your DVD drive and boot load the disk when it asks. Goto the backup section of all the tools and use acronis disk image... follow instructions... done.
I was searching for a way to copy my hard drive when I came across your video. It appears they no longer sell copy commander. Is there a newer version?
I see your video was done in 2008 and now it's 2011. That's a decade in computer years. Also it would be help if you updated the video since a lot of new computer user have never dealt with a floppy drive because they haven't been on computers in years.
the easier, FREE way (as apposed to spending 300 bucks for the software and a new hard drive) copy your C: drive to an external hard drive (only need between 100-200 GB) and boom. done. no yacht party music required. 8D
I'm guessing that no-one here has ever heard of RAID. Then.

@shadowolf192 I have a server at home with Windows 2008 Enterprise R2 on it, With four 2TB hard drives running Raid 5 and an 80GB hard drive for the operating system in it, I back everything I have up to this, the outlay cost a little but for securing data (Movies, Music, Oh and files) it is priceless and well worth the effort ......would recommend it to anyone serious about data security once up and running very stable and no need for modifying :)
i dont think i can defrag with 0 bytes of hard drive space. its so bad i cant even watch youtube videos i have to go delete a file so i can watch a video. i just ordered a 2TB hdd from amazon to replace my 300gb..
@MrPod4g his point is that clone hard drive in mac is different so a mac user who wants to clone his hard drive watches and follows this, its gonna be useless

It's not the right confidence not to make a backup of programs etc. I would either recommend kpartitionmanager (KDE partition manager) in order to make a backup or to clone a partition. It's for free. You will still have to install a boot loader and correct the partition ID using Super Fdisk (or maybe something else on Ultimate Boot CD) because kpartitionmanager doesn't save that correctly. But it works.
my hardrive is super full - i dont know why as i regulary use disk cleanup and have no unecesary files would u recomend i partion my hardrive then format ? if not what should i do?
@solpandol78 purchase A flashdrive, and save some of ur programs on that! like pictures, documents, music..and even games! That will free up some space on ur HDD ! lol
I am trying to copy a large group of files from my server to my external hard drive...When the copy & paste is completed , it shows less files in the destination folder than the original...Why does this happen & how would you recommend I do this?
Yeah. I have bought a new harddrive before. It came with a CD. The program on that disc allowed me to do exactly this. Copied the entire old drive to the new drive. Thats a very easy way to "reboot"
You can back up internet updates but as you said, it's a lot simpler to clone the hd. If one were to have a need to backup the updates or a single program (including all the custom configurations, changes, updates etc) and re-deploy that particular program again to one or more pc's with all its updates and custom configurations as a single software package, you'd need Novell Zenworks Snapshot or Zenworks Patch Management. :-)
@rugged74 well, wouldnt a reinstalled program Automatically search for updates once reinstalled? As in Google, Adobe, Java, Norton, McAfee, Internet Explorer, or any other Browser or Browser add on?
for me it would take a MONTH SRSLY A MONTH (not real month like 10 hours of coping and dling (think bout it that long i wud go mad ) so ill just clone my files onto discs (either blu ray or dvd
Can you guys help me? I restarted my computer with the cc9 cd in it, booted from cd, it went to the Copy screen but my mouse won't work! I can't navigate to the copy button. The keyboard doesn't let me do it. Any else having this problem and how can I solve it?
Nightflyyer is using 2 drives... one of them, is always being used for the system.. the other is just an old cloned drive sitting in a desk drawer somewhere.. soo when his main system drive fails.. he has to install the old cloned drive.. then update whatever needs to be updated.. unless he's constatly wasting time re-cloning his spare drive every week... Raid 1 is the best solution for this.. No need to re-install hdd or update. 137GB HDD Limit was only an issue in XP SP1.. it was fixed SP2
The Absolute best thing to do, is not to "clone" your hard drive, as suggested in this video.. But to Raid your HDD. Raid 1 Provides redundancy for this. Raid 5 provides Double the speed and Redundancy.. Raid 6 as well. As Nightflyer said, Cloning is only as good as your last cloned hard drive. With raid, 1 drive fails, u RMA it. then pop in the new drive, and it rebuilds the Raid Array,. nothing is lost... if two drives fail ( unlikely ) this is what raid 5 is for... Cloning is not the best
i have a question lets say i completely whiped out my intier pc's hard drive can i clone my laptops hard drive and install it on my pc? (laptop has windows 7 pc use to have windows xp) o and if i can will the pc obtain winows 7?
@salvymex95 Sort of. You'll probably have to reactivate Windows when it boots on the desktop because it will notice the new hardware and presume it's a stolen copy / cloned installation.
google PING (Partimage Is Not Ghost). You'll find maybe one of the best programs for backup and recovery. It can copy an entire partition even on an external HDD connected via USB. It will not overwrite your previous backups. If you have enough space on the partition to which you are copying the backup you will not lose your old data. The interface is not very user friendly but what the program does is cool
Thanks Dave! ~ Awesome tutorial.... Thanks to you, I purchased the Copy Commander 9 online & with you giving me a jist of how it works, I'll be trying it soon. I'll let you know how things go. Thanks again for the great video! Cudos!!
I purchased a seagate hardrive (who make maxtor)just to use their free hard drive cloning software.The hard drive is ready to die after only six months,and the disc cloning hardware wouldnt let me boot into vista. So I had to do it the long way.Install vista the download all my programs .It takes weeks.
Im moving from a 250GB HD to a 500GB HD. I really dont want to just start over. I have music, videos, pictures, etc that I dont want to lose as well as video game saves. If I cloned my current drive to the new one, then switch them, would I notice absolutely nothing different other than more free space (since im moving to a bigger disk)? In other words, would I start up my computer with the new hard drive and everything would be the same?
Very helpful. But, what if the drive in the computer is IDE and the clone is SATA? How would you hook that up and how would you configure it as a slave?
A very wise thing to do...run scandisk first. Otherwise copy commander might get hung up during the copy process then you have to start all over again.
used to work in a pc repair shop...we used this many times...
PARTTWO____I need more room than that to install my programs but I used my last activation code. So I was wondering if I could put a second Hard Drive into my computer and transfer my 64bit version of Windows 7 over to the new Hard drive. This HDD already has an Operating system on it (windows 7 32bit). Can I upgrade that without a new activation code?
PARTONE______ I have a family pack for Windows 7. I have Installed the 32bit version on my hard drive. A couple of the programs I use needs a 64bit operating system. I decided to partition my 250Gb HDD to Install my other Windows 7 64bit OS. But when I went to partition my HDD, it only let me shrink a section to 13Gb.
IF YOU USE SEAGATE DRIVES TO MAKE A COPY YOU CAN DOWNLOAD A FREE PROGRAM CALLED SEAGATE DISK WIZARD THAT DOES THE SAME THING IN WINDOWS WHEN IT RESTARTS IS SHOWS PROGRESS TOOK ME ABOUT 35MINS TO CLONE 880 gb DRIVE. DOES sata 1.5MB AND 3MB AND 6MB
my pc uses sata for my drives, is the setup the same? i was going to make make the new drive a slave untill i cloned my old one and make the new one my main disk when finished. also my pc doesnt have a floppy drive will this software still work?
IF YOU USE SEAGATE DRIVES TO MAKE A COPY YOU CAN DOWNLOAD A FREE PROGRAM CALLED SEAGATE DISK WIZARD THAT DOES THE SAME THING IN WINDOWS WHEN IT RESTARTS IS SHOWS PROGRESS TOOK ME ABOUT 35MINS TO CLONE 880 gb DRIVE. DOES sata 1.5MB AND 3MB AND 6MB WORKS WIT MAXTOR DRIVES ALSO.
just want to know i have 2 Harddrives and i want to put another OS on the other one so i can put it in my cousins computer can i do that and then afterwards put my old harddrive back?and will it still work as my OS?
Loose with his terminology, confusing disk/partition backup with Windows "settings and data" backup
A "backup" can backup EVERYTHING on a drive, including all programs, system information/drivers, settings, downloads, etc. A backup can usually be restored to any disk as long as it is at the same or higher capacity as the original drive, creating a fully intact and bootable system disk or intact data partition
DriveImageXML is an excellent FREEWARE alternative image backup program for Windows
A cloning program can GENERALLY be run from within a specific Operating System, OR can be OS independent
Example of excellent FREEWARE cloning program is XXclone. Creates bootable copy of disk. If primary disk fails, just swap in cloned disk and you're up and running within a few minutes with all your programs, data, etc intact
Cloning programs can be "bit-wise" or functional clones with pros and cons for each type
There are other very good FREEWARE disk/partition backup and cloning programs
I doo to bro, and i never have to go through any of this frustrating shit, why?...exactly you guessed it right, because its a mac......pc is a waste of money and time
ONLY if you are just gonna listen to music and fiddle with Photos - A Mac is a fantastic Work Machine, I use one, But my PC a waste of money?? Oh Nooo!!, I love it, It's upgradeable, flexible, future-proof and ;when taken care of, Bomb proof! ..
PhotoShop, FTP, Games, MultiScreen, Multi-GPU Super Flexible Everything machine!!..
Yeah i Know, enthusiast POV , ..but it's just Horses for Courses .Niether are a "Waste of Money"
Acronis Disk Director Suite is pretty good too! Once you have cloned your drive with Acronis Disk Director Suite you can actually mount the disk image to a drive letter to access the data inside it!
very good did it the way you done it well done so much better than norton ghost one thing i found tho making the cd is better than using the floppy ands after the driver was transferred it was very laggy for a while but its all good now thanx nice tips
nightflyyer<<---- i remember last time my prof told me to clone using norton we need 3 hdd. one is where ur os installed the other one is the hd u want to back up and 3rd is the hd u wnt to back up to. is copy commander can copy even the os??? and it just need 2 hard drive???
probably died because you think kicking the computer is a better idea then sliding the side off and plugging the sata/ide cable back in all the way.
I just partition off 40GB and install windows on that specific partition keeping my games downloads music and others on a seperate partition on the same drive.
when i get virused out. no need to image the whole drive. just unpack your image from the other partition and re boot..
tah dah no need to burn DVD's or waste time doing this???
my dad he cloned the hard drive of the computer that we dont use and share it with the one that works and it works idk how he did it. but i need a hard drive for my xboxlive(360)
I found most of them run as normal, but sometimes registered ones will ask for a new registration code as it has detected the change of drive and thinks it's a different computer.
Oh, and since you seem to know what you are talking about...do you have any recommendations for a failed hard drive? (I think the motor may be deceased)
i have a 4 gig usb flash drive i accidentally deleted the files that it came with now it says before i can use it i will need to format it but when i try to format it i get a error mes windows can not complete the format im using vista home pre do to some research i think it might be write protected not shore tho please help
hey i have a question, say i get a bigger hard drive and i want to use carbon coppy or supper duper would it also clone my windows partitions as well as my osx partitions
I'll tell u what NightFlyyer, you know alot of people might say "I got a better way blah blah blah" I'll tell you I spend litterally all day and night on my computer for the past 15 years at least 14 hours a day since I was unable to walk for most of my life. Your way to do this is absolutly the most fool-proof way in order to do this.

So I had to do it the long way.Install vista the download all my programs .It takes weeks.

Im moving from a 250GB HD to a 500GB HD. I really dont want to just start over. I have music, videos, pictures, etc that I dont want to lose as well as video game saves. If I cloned my current drive to the new one, then switch them, would I notice absolutely nothing different other than more free space (since im moving to a bigger disk)? In other words, would I start up my computer with the new hard drive and everything would be the same?

Very helpful. But, what if the drive in the computer is IDE and the clone is SATA? How would you hook that up and how would you configure it as a slave?

A very wise thing to do...run scandisk first. Otherwise copy commander might get hung up during the copy process then you have to start all over again.

HELP.
I am running RAID10 on a Promise EX8300 RAID Card
I want to swap between two different images:
= Windows XP 32bit;
= Windows 7 64bit;
And change between them regularly.
Any ideas which cloning software will let me do that?
FYI: I also know about and run virtuals - but I need to change my native OS.
I would be grateful to anyone who ACTUALLY knows
Cheers

PARTTWO____I need more room than that to install my programs but I used my last activation code. So I was wondering if I could put a second Hard Drive into my computer and transfer my 64bit version of Windows 7 over to the new Hard drive. This HDD already has an Operating system on it (windows 7 32bit). Can I upgrade that without a new activation code?

PARTONE______ I have a family pack for Windows 7. I have Installed the 32bit version on my hard drive. A couple of the programs I use needs a 64bit operating system. I decided to partition my 250Gb HDD to Install my other Windows 7 64bit OS. But when I went to partition my HDD, it only let me shrink a section to 13Gb.

Loose with his terminology, confusing disk/partition backup with Windows "settings and data" backup
A "backup" can backup EVERYTHING on a drive, including all programs, system information/drivers, settings, downloads, etc. A backup can usually be restored to any disk as long as it is at the same or higher capacity as the original drive, creating a fully intact and bootable system disk or intact data partition
DriveImageXML is an excellent FREEWARE alternative image backup program for Windows
exgenica 2 years ago
A cloning program can GENERALLY be run from within a specific Operating System, OR can be OS independent
Example of excellent FREEWARE cloning program is XXclone. Creates bootable copy of disk. If primary disk fails, just swap in cloned disk and you're up and running within a few minutes with all your programs, data, etc intact
Cloning programs can be "bit-wise" or functional clones with pros and cons for each type
There are other very good FREEWARE disk/partition backup and cloning programs

babyfaceassassin21 2 years ago
probably died because you think kicking the computer is a better idea then sliding the side off and plugging the sata/ide cable back in all the way.
I just partition off 40GB and install windows on that specific partition keeping my games downloads music and others on a seperate partition on the same drive.
when i get virused out. no need to image the whole drive. just unpack your image from the other partition and re boot..
tah dah no need to burn DVD's or waste time doing this???

the best way would be to have programs on C: drive data on D: then make an 'image' of just the C: drive.
Or clone the disk then remove the data partition.
