Cloning Windows disk

reefoid · 13 May 2010 at 10:10

I've built a new system this week, but re-used my old hard drives. However, I've quickly realised these are now the noisiest part of my new setup so have ordered a new 500GB Barracuda. Its been a while since I cloned a disk so was just wondering what is the best way to do this now, preferably free.

I could just re-install Windows, but have spent several hours installing software and tweaking so would rather just transfer this all over to a new disk.

Thanks.

DiscWizard - which is basically Acronis TI, make sure (a) your Seagate HDD is attached before you install this, as it requires a Seagate HDD to be installed for its use...
