Got my new HDD
I just got my hdd in today. Works great. Thanks too blu3rav3n. But now instead of having to sit through a painfull process of installing windows XP then vista over top of that cuz i dont have my vista iso burnt to an image and i dont feel like reinstalling everything ive heard that there are programs you can use that will create an exact image of one hdd and put it on another. Nortons Ghost is one. But i dont feel like downloading it. Is there a free program that will do this?

Re: Got my new HDD
What kind of HDD is it? When new, they came with a boot CD that you can use to st up, and copy a partition from your old drive to a new one. Go to the SITE if the MFR and download the program. They all have one now, but they ALL also require at least one of their drives connected. IF you run the Seagate one, and have two non Seagate drives, it won't run, it will tell you the drives are not supported. However, hook any Seagate to the chain, and it will run, pretty stupid. Same with Maxtor, and Western Digital's disc... I use the software all the time, I have THREE boot discs, Seagate, Western Digital, and Fijutsu. I think the Fijitsu version doesn't care what HDDs are connected, it just works with all drives. The WD and SG must have one of theit drives on an IDE cable...

What's that mean? Anyway, I said to go to the MFRs site and download their disc manager software, whatever they call it... It would have worked for ya... I do it all the time. They may ask you to enter a model number to download it, but just search yahoo for one, and use it, they don't know any better. I have done that with the Seagate site all the time to download their latest tools.

You could download it from either site, as I said, they only require that one of their drives be on the IDE port. You can then Xfer the partition; Maxtor to the Seagate, or vis-versa... As long as the program sees one of its drives, it runs... They would not limit you to partition copying to the same drive, as Seagate and the other MFRs hope you are replacing someone else's drive with theirs. Their program just facilitates the PARTITION copy, but they must see their drive to get to the tools, that's all... Then you can even go Seagate to Maxtor, as log as the Seagate tool sees the Seagate drive, and so on...
