  • 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?

  • Thanks for the great tutorial! It helped a bunch!

  • My Vacation Text Box and Key Activator get's it. I cannot use anything else than those to stop from getting grounded off the computer at school!

  • @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

  • you can copy a hdd to a disc but your disc has to be bigger than your hard drive

  • Do I need to put an Operating system on the new hard drive before cloning the new one?

  • how do i clone a hdd and put it on a dvd or cd and install from it ( boot install from it) ? D: help me

  • i'm having a problem when i try to clone my new drive it doesn't show my internal drive what am i doing wrong

  • 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...

    E-mail me georgesr1965@yahoo.com

    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.
