Hi All,
I need some advice & confirmation.
I have my desktop PC and it has 2 hard drives installed. The first one has OS intalled & any other software files, the 2nd one has all my music, pictures, videos, college work, and other stuff on.
The 2nd drive is about 120GB, and 112GB is being used.
Roughly i have:
70GB in my 'Music Folder'
And the rest is scattered across various other folders.
Now, i'm wanting to Format both of these hard drives and do a complete,full, clean installation. I have a 250GB external Seagate HD and i want to transfer everything over onto this external drive.
i have tried just copy and pasting, but that is going to take far too long, and also, i got an error message copying one of the files at the beginning, so this stopped the copying process. As i wasnt present at the time & i had left it copying the files across, i wasted about 10 hours trying to copy.
I know there are programs like Norton Ghost etc, which are supposedly good for backing up, but i have been looking at using Clonezilla. Will this do what i want to do?
Any advice is welcome, please help me out as i'm off work today and ideally want to get something done
