Can we settle this once and for all? Migrating to new hard disk.

You shouldn't need to do a Vista start up repair but if it got it going, fair play

ok, now what software do you all use to benchmark your disks?

I just use dd to move a partition to a new drive. I've never benchmarked a disk.

dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/dev/sdb1 bs=32k conv=sync,noerror

for what its worth i've used DriveimageXML a few times and can't fault it. just make sure you set the new drive to active partition and away you go
