Copy windows install to another drive? clone

Neil79 · 5 Dec 2011 at 18:39

Basically I just got a 1TB drive from RMA however as my current windows 7 install and all games is on a 500gb drive and is only 2 weeks old, I don't want to reinstall it all again.

Is there any way of cloning the entire drive 400GB worth which includes windows 7 onto the New 1TB?.

When this is done i'm going to be using my SSD as a cache drive :cool:

Acronis or Partition Wizard will both clone your drive for you. Put your new drive in on a higher port number, switch on, do the clone, shutdown, remove the old one, boot and test.

If it doesnt work, swap it back, boot up and post any issues.

Using Easeus todo backup thanks to a thread I found on OCUK, doing the clone now

Thanks also for the advice skyripper!
