How to Replace/Clone a Hard Drive on a Windows Computer

I show you how to replace a hard drive on a Dell Dimension 2400.
Instead of re-installing all the programs and the operating system, I just cloned the hard drive, which makes an exact copy of all the documents and programs.

You can get HD Clone from this website: http://www.miray.de/products/sat.hdclone.html

PLEASE HELP!! I cloned my laptop hard drive to my desktop hard drive and everything is OK but the keyboard and mouse don't work....What should i do?

P.S the keyboard and mouse are functioning properly, and work in other machines.

@JordyBT I'm saying install drivers: Try to get another mouse/keyboard working with the computer. Then install all the drivers available for your computer.

btw i have 2 partitions. wha will happen if i transfer from 160 to 500gb? will it still be 160 on the 500gb and the rest of space will be useless? thanks again!

[weward]

if i have 160gb hard drive on my laptop and i would clone it on a portable(not external coz external is connected to usb and has power plug and portable is just usb connected, right?) with 500gb. will it do? And will i be able to use the remaining space of that drive or after cloning, only 160gb will be used from 500gb and the rest will be useless? thanks in advance

@frankdukes619 You didn't set the partition on your new drive to be larger than the old one. The old partition was cloned in the same size as the old one. 1month ago but I thought I could help.
