FREE hard drive imaging software ?

We've all heard of Acronis and Macrium Reflect but are there any good free programs out there ?, possibly bootable cd or usb key image. Swapping my 512gb M2 for a 1Tb M2, win7...

When copying from one partition to another I normally use MiniTool Partition Wizard Free.

reflect do a free edition and you can create a usb bootable drive also, same with acronis and certain branded hard drives like western digital.

cant beat reflect imo, just remember to do a verify check after you create a clone of the hard drive and afterwards also to make sure its 100% done right.

Thanks !. I don't fancy paying out for software that I'll only use once every 5 years or more....
