Hi Guys, the hard drive in my laptop has been playing up recently, and actually totally died on monday, now i have managed to get it going again by running a hard drive repair program, i have two damaged sectors, which have been repaired, so all is ok, for now.

Work are sending me out a new hard drive (exactly the same drive but with a std build OS on it) so what i want to do is to copy the data over 1:1 from the old drive to the new drive, what software will allow me to do this easily?

The old drive is showing everything as ok now, but i know its going to fail again.

Funny thing is in the last month or so quite a few of the laptops at our place have had similar problems, all about the same age too, freaky stuff!
 
So i can do it in windows easy?

As it happens i have a USB caddy, picked one up from a high street shop, i paid a staggering £30 for it:( its going on expenses so it doesnt really matter.Cheers mate :)
