mb Posted January 25, 2006 Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 This works great & it's free - makes a bootable diskette or CD which then clones a drive onto a larger one - great for upgrades copied the IBM hidden partion etc. etc. Only snag is you end up with a partition the same size as the old HDD so I ended up with 3 partitions 1 same size as old HDD, 2 "hidden" part of old disk 3 rest of spare space from upgrade, I think the pro version addresses this & is quicker, still compared to a full install it is great (though it took longer than a full install would have...) but has kept the original image and it is only 474 kb ! http://www.miray.de/download/sat.hdclone.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aal234 Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 any idea if this works with sata drives? Found norton ghost to be a bit flakey with nforce 4 sata clones. Been using an old clunky version of drive image instead but its not very quick! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mb Posted January 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 I would guess not as the manual says "HDClone currently supports ATA/IDE harddisks with a capacity of up to 2048 GB (= 2 Terabytes), i.e. also harddisks above the “magical” limit of 128 GB. The Professional SCSI Edition additionally supports SCSI harddisks" that said it is easy to run to see - you can cancel the install etc. without it affecting the source drive. It took most of the day to copy 35GB so if you have a very big drive I would be ready for a long wait ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
