AndyMosh Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 So i've just bought this HDD: http://www.ebuyer.com/product/173804 for an upgrade from an old 250gb one, all i'm needing to do is clone my old hard drive onto that one and then format my old one and boot off of the new one, I imagine it is possible and I know there is software out there. What is the best way/which is the best application to do this? Thanks for any feedback :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scorpion Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 You could use clone zilla (its a bootable disk/usb) and its free. Clonezilla just remember to double check the new drive before formatting the old one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyMosh Posted June 10, 2011 Author Share Posted June 10, 2011 Thanks for the fast reply, that program is a bit confusing, I definitely won't format my old drive until I know I can boot from the new one, what would be the basic guide for using that? I'd probably burn it to a disc for future use too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
