For identical drives and just basic copying (which sounds like what you're asking for) I've had great results with Ghost from Symantec. If you've ever owned a copy of Norton SystemWorks in the past 5 years you should have a copy of it.

For more complex stuff, and actually faster results, I like DriveImage from PowerQuest. Much more feature rich and definitely worth the $40 I think it costs.

Hello,

Have you visited the manufacturer's technical support web site for your new hard disk drive to see if they provide such a utilty free-of-charge? If not, you should be able to use a program like Acronis' MigrateEasy, Paragon's Drive Backup, PowerQuest's DriveCopy or Symantec's Ghost to clone the hard disk drive's contents.

Regards,

Aryeh Goretsky
