I just tried a true image recovery sw and it didn't work . I heard norton ghost is crap so which is the best
 
Which software did you try, and why didn't it work? I've never had any trouble with Acronis, though there are others (eg DriveXML, Windows Backup & Restore in high-end copies of Vista etc).

acronis - did a backup from the backed up file i'd made of the previous hdd, copied onto new hdd, stuck in laptop - no disk or disk error :(
 
I have started to use Casper after I also had some failures with Acronis, not had a problem with this software.
 
explain in more detail what you tried.

sounds like you're doing it wrong.


what version of acronis, and how did you do it.
 
You've definitely set something wrong somewhere. Acronis is very well known to be amongst the best, if not the best, imaging software out there.
 
Acronis True Image. Always works for me. BUT, I've had it fail once because I had gaps in the image name. Just make sure the image name is just one word.

For example, I imaged my HDD and named the resulting image file as "FULL BACKUP". When I tried to re-image that, it failed. I had saved the image on a nexternal hdd, so took that to another pc, renamed it "fullbackup" and it worked just fine. I hope I don't have to re-image again though, bloody pain.

But also, Acronis can be scheduled to backup important files and data automatically. Which is great, as I always forget to backup manually.
 
Another vote for Casper here - mate told me about it a couple of weeks ago and even I can use it!

No problems with it so far anyway.
 
Stay away from paragon is you r on vista, right pain in the u know what.

I have got to check out this casper....is it the dogs ******** then? Tell me more fellas

Cheers
