Re: Transfering vista

Any of the imaging solutions will let you "clone" a drive. Colin suggests
Acronis, and I have to say it's my favourite too. You connect the new drive
with the old drive still there, run Acronis, tell it to clone the original
drive. When it's done, you shut down, remove the original, and plug the
replacement in its place.

The only tricky part is remembering to change the jumpers from Slave to
Master if you're doing this with IDE drives. SATA not even that.

Re: Transfering vista

it is not unusual for the new drive to come with software to image the old drive to the new drive. no need to buy new one.

if not in the box, go to the manufacturers web site.

Re: Transfering vista

But they don't always work with Vista. WD's apparently does not.
